MP for Richmond and Northallerton
“A high-profile Conservative leader and party loyalist who has led the country and held top economic roles.”
Rishi Sunak is the Conservative MP for Richmond and Northallerton, first elected in 2015. He has held several senior government roles, including Chancellor of the Exchequer (2020–2022) and Prime Minister (2022–2024), and has led the Conservative Party. He previously served as Chief Secretary to the Treasury and as a Housing minister.
Sunak has a perfect party loyalty record (100%) but low voting attendance (42%). He has one recorded rebellion against his party (Agriculture Bill: Report Stage: New Clause 2, 2020). On policy votes, he generally supported immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme, generally voted against NHS funding and against expanding prison sentencing, and has backed stronger trade union powers. His votes on welfare-related issues show a mixed pattern with Universal Credit and transgender rights.
Declared financial interests total 30 entries, including ongoing paid employment, ad hoc payments, miscellaneous earnings, other employment earnings, land and property (within or outside the UK), and shareholdings.
