MP for Cities of London and Westminster
“A highly party-loyal Labour MP who has briefly rebelled on end-of-life legislation.”
Rachel Blake is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Cities of London and Westminster, elected in 2024. She sits on the House of Commons Commission, the Restoration and Renewal Client Board, and the Members Estimate Committee, and has previously served on a range of committees including the Treasury Committee and the Renters’ Rights Bill committee.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty, with attendance at 16% (below the party average of 33%). She has two rebel votes. On policy votes, she has generally backed workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and supported renter protections; she has tended to vote against prison sentencing, bus services regulation and transgender rights, while taking mixed positions on Universal Credit, mental health services, climate change measures and VAT changes.
Declared financial interests include one entry: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
