MP for Nottingham East
“A centre-left Labour backbencher who routinely backs NHS funding and takes a liberal line on immigration, while occasionally rebelling against the party on welfare and security measures.”
Nadia Whittome is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Nottingham East, first elected in 2019. She sits on the Women and Equalities Committee (from October 2025) and has previously served on committees covering housing, energy and the environment, reflecting a focus on social justice and welfare issues.
Whittome shows very high party loyalty (99%) and above-average attendance (45%). Her voting record is broadly mixed across policy areas, generally opposing stricter immigration controls and asylum measures, while supporting NHS funding, and she has issued several notable rebel votes on Universal Credit and related welfare legislation.
