MP for Kingswinford and South Staffordshire
Shadow Minister (Cabinet Office)
“A centrist Conservative MP with strong attendance who occasionally rebels on Brexit-related votes and Northern Ireland abortion regulations.”
Mike Wood has represented Kingswinford and South Staffordshire as a Conservative MP since 2015. He has held government whip roles and, since 2024, serves as Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office and as an Opposition Whip; he sits on the Committee of Selection and on committees relating to education (16–19 Academies Bill) and health (Rare Cancers Bill).
Wood shows strong party loyalty (100% of votes) and above-average attendance (79%). He sits near the centre of the political spectrum (54/100). His voting record is a mix: he generally backs immigration controls and the asylum system, opposes bus services regulation, and has a small number of rebellions on Brexit-related measures and Northern Ireland abortion regulations.
