MP for Barking
Comptroller (HM Household) (Whip, House of Commons)
“A party-loyal Labour MP and government whip who has shown occasional independence on end-of-life amendments.”
Nesil Caliskan is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Barking, elected in 2024. She currently serves as Comptroller of HM Household (a government whip) and sits on the Committee of Selection, with additional work on the Licensing Hours Extensions Bill committee. She previously served on the Public Accounts Committee and on several bill committees, reflecting experience in parliamentary scrutiny and legislation.
Caliskan votes with her party very often (99% loyalty), but attendance is notably low at 12% (compared with a 33% party average). She has four rebel votes and sits on a centre-left spectrum (32/100). Her record shows a mix of positions: generally supportive of workers’ rights and trade union powers and renter protections, but often opting against climate change measures and mental health funding, with mixed votes on Universal Credit and VAT changes.
Declared financial interest in land and property (within or outside the UK).
