MP for Glasgow West
“A largely loyal party backbencher who has occasional rebel votes on welfare and end-of-life issues, while serving on important Commons committees.”
Patricia Ferguson is the Labour and Co-operative MP for Glasgow West, first elected in 2024. She serves on the Commons Liaison Committee and the Scottish Affairs Committee, and previously sat on the Ecclesiastical Committee (Nov 2024–Apr 2025).
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%), but unusually low attendance (15%), and five rebel votes against the party. She consistently supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and backs renter protections, bus services regulation, and protest rights. She generally votes against expanding mental health services, against prison sentencing, and against transgender rights, while she has supported VAT changes.
Declared financial interests include one overseas visit.
