MP for Worsley and Eccles
“A party-loyal Labour MP who never rebels but has unusually low parliamentary attendance.”
Michael Wheeler is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Worsley and Eccles, first elected on 4 July 2024. He currently sits on the Procedure Committee, the Committee on Standards and the Committee of Privileges, and has previously served on committees linked to the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL], the Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill [HL], the Employment Rights Bill and the Renters’ Rights Bill. His voting profile places him on the centre-left of the political spectrum.
He shows perfect party loyalty with zero rebel votes, yet his voting attendance is only 18%, well below the party average of 34%. His record includes strong support for workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and consistent support for renter protections, bus services regulation, and protest rights, with mixed positions on Universal Credit, mental health services and VAT changes, and a tendency to vote against tougher prison sentencing and transgender rights.
Declares two financial interests: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; and miscellaneous interests.
