MP for Colne Valley
“A party‑loyal, centre‑left Labour MP for Colne Valley who sits on key committees and has not rebelled in votes, but records unusually low voting attendance.”
Paul Davies is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Colne Valley, elected in July 2024. He currently serves on the Finance Committee and the Petitions Committee, having joined the former in March 2025 and the latter in January 2025. He previously sat on the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill committee in May 2025.
He has 100% party loyalty with zero rebel votes and an attendance rate of 17% (well below the party average of 33%). On policy votes, he has a mixed pattern: he generally supports workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and backs renter protections, while generally opposing harsher prison sentencing, regulation of bus services, and transgender rights. He has voted for VAT changes with limited but consistent support, and displays a mixed position on mental health services and climate measures.
