MP for Nottingham East
“A centre-left Labour backbencher with high party loyalty who has occasionally rebelled on high-profile reform bills.”
Nadia Whittome is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Nottingham East, first elected in 2019. She currently sits on the Women and Equalities Committee (since October 2025). In Parliament she has served on several committees, including the Environmental Audit Committee (2020–2022), the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee (2022–2024), and scrutiny work on energy and equality issues, reflecting a focus on social justice, housing and public services.
Whittome shows strong alignment with the Labour whip (98% loyalty) and above-average attendance. She has 17 rebel votes. On policy areas she generally opposes stricter immigration controls and asylum restrictions, and she has generally voted against the Rwanda deportation scheme and harsher prison sentencing, while backing NHS funding. Votes on VAT, trade union powers, transgender rights, bus services regulation, and related welfare issues are mixed.
