MP for Newark
“A highly party-loyal centrist MP with a long ministerial background who rarely rebels but has a handful of notable cross-party votes on Brexit and welfare-related bills.”
Robert Jenrick is the MP for Newark, representing Reform UK. He has held a series of senior government roles since entering Parliament in 2014, including Housing Secretary, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, and a Home Office immigration post, with further ministerial duties in health and social care; more recently he has served in opposition as Shadow Secretary of State for Justice (2024–2026).
Jenrick shows very high party loyalty (99%) and above-average attendance (70% vs 41% party average), with 11 rebel votes in total. He sits in a centrist space (49/100) and generally aligns with his party, while his votes reveal a nuanced pattern on policy: he tends to back tighter immigration controls and is less supportive of bus service regulation, while his record on Universal Credit and related welfare issues is mixed. He has made notable rebellions on EU-related matters and health-policy changes.
There are 15 declared financial interests. They comprise eight entries for donations and other support related to his activities as an MP (including loans), three entries for ad hoc payments from employment and earnings, three entries categorized as miscellaneous, and one entry for other earnings.
