MP for Barrow and Furness
“A party-loyal Labour MP who has nonetheless rebelled twice on end-of-life care amendments.”
Michelle Scrogham is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Barrow and Furness, elected on 4 July 2024. She serves on the Defence Committee (since October 2024) and has previously been involved in committees related to the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill and the Armed Forces Commissioner Bill. She has declared financial interests covering employment and earnings, land/property, and shareholdings.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%), but notably low attendance (15%). She has two rebel votes. On policy issues, she generally backs workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, bus services regulation, protest rights and VAT changes, while she tends to vote against transgender rights, prison sentencing and publicly owned railways; votes on universal credit and mental health services are mixed.
Declared financial interests include employment and earnings, land and property (within or outside the UK), and shareholdings.
