MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark
“A party‑loyal Labour MP with strong attendance who has occasionally rebelled on end‑of‑life legislation.”
Neil Coyle is the Labour and Co‑operative MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, first elected in 2015. He has served on a range of Commons committees, including Work and Pensions, Foreign Affairs and Arms Export Controls, reflecting ongoing involvement in welfare, international affairs and trade issues.

His voting record favours Universal Credit and NHS funding and bus services regulation, while generally opposing stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. His positions on VAT, asylum, transgender rights, trade union powers and prison sentencing are mixed, with notable rebellions on End of Life Bill amendments in 2025.
Declares nine financial interests, including donations or loans in support of his MP work, gifts/benefits from UK sources, miscellaneous entries, and one overseas visit.
