MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East
“A transport-focused Labour MP with near-total party loyalty and strong attendance, who has staged a handful of rebellions on end‑of‑life amendments and crime legislation.”
Mike Kane is Labour (Co-op) MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East, first elected in 2014. He served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Transport from 9 July 2024 to 7 September 2025 and currently sits on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and on the Space Industry (Indemnities) Bill committee; earlier in his career he held shadow ministerial roles in transport, education (schools) and international development.
His voting record places him centre-left. He shows very high party loyalty (99%) and above-average attendance (69%). On policy, he generally backs Universal Credit and NHS funding, supports bus services regulation, and tends to oppose stricter immigration controls and the asylum system; his votes on VAT changes, transgender rights and trade union powers are mixed, and he has 11 rebel votes in total.
Declares two miscellaneous financial interests.
