MP for Worsley and Eccles
“A loyal Labour backbencher with a centre-left stance who rarely rebels but has unusually low parliamentary attendance.”
Michael Wheeler is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Worsley and Eccles, elected on 4 July 2024. He currently sits on the Procedure Committee and on the Committee on Standards and the Committee of Privileges, and has previously served on committees related to renters' rights, employment rights and product regulation.
His voting pattern shows 100% party loyalty with zero rebel votes, but attendance is well below the party average (16% vs 33%). He generally backs trade union powers and workers' rights, and supports renters' protections, while tending to vote against tougher prison sentencing, bus regulation, climate change measures and transgender rights; his votes on Universal Credit and VAT are mixed.
Has two declared financial interests: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; and miscellaneous.
