MP for Cities of London and Westminster
Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)
“A party-loyal centre-left MP who now serves as Economic Secretary to the Treasury and has made rare rebellions on end-of-life legislation.”
Rachel Blake is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Cities of London and Westminster, elected in 2024. She has served as Economic Secretary to the Treasury since May 2026 and sits on several Commons bodies, including the House of Commons Commission, the Restoration and Renewal Client Board, and the Members Estimate Committee. In Parliament she has been active on Treasury-related and finance committees as part of her early frontbench and committee work.
Blake shows very high party loyalty (99%) but a notably low voting attendance (17%). She has two rebel votes and generally aligns with Labour on workers’ rights protections, trade union powers, bus services regulation and renter protections. Her record is more mixed on protest rights and mental health services, and she has tended to vote for VAT changes while opposing harsher prison sentencing and expanding transgender rights. Her stance places her around 39/100 on the political spectrum (centre-left).
Declares two entries in the Register of Members' Financial Interests: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and miscellaneous.
