MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark
“A party-loyal Labour MP with active parliamentary involvement who has occasionally rebelled on end-of-life legislation.”
Neil Coyle is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, first elected in 2015. He has served on several parliamentary committees, including Work and Pensions, Foreign Affairs and Arms Export Controls, reflecting a focus on welfare, security and international issues. He is a centre-left MP who is generally loyal to the party but has demonstrated independent voting on specific measures.
His voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%) and relatively high attendance for votes (67%). He has generally supported Universal Credit and NHS funding, while generally opposing tighter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme. He casts a mix of votes on VAT changes, transgender rights, trade union powers and prison sentencing, indicating selective independence on nuanced policy issues.
