MP for Sheffield Hallam
“A highly loyal Labour MP with a focus on energy and environment oversight, who has occasionally rebelled on welfare and public-order measures.”
Olivia Blake is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Sheffield Hallam, elected in 2019. She currently sits on the Environmental Audit Committee (since October 2024) and has previously served on the Public Accounts Committee, as well as in shadow minister roles covering climate change and net zero, and environment, food and rural affairs.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%) and attendance above the party average. On policy topics, she generally aligns with a centre-left stance: supports trade unions, is generally against stricter immigration controls and asylum measures, and generally opposes tougher prison sentences and Rwanda deportations. Her votes on welfare-related issues (Universal Credit) are mixed, with a pattern of both supporting and opposing changes depending on the proposal.
Declared financial interests include five entries of donations or other support for MP activities, one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and one overseas visit.
