MP for Newark
“A centrist, high-attendance MP with near-total party loyalty who has occasionally rebelled on major EU- and welfare-related votes.”
Robert Jenrick is the Member of Parliament for Newark, first elected in 2014. His career has included senior government roles, notably in housing, communities and local government, and ministerial positions in the Home Office (immigration) and the Department of Health and Social Care, with his most recent prominent role being Shadow Secretary of State for Justice until January 2026.
