MP for Brentford and Isleworth
“A largely party-loyal backbench MP with high attendance who has occasionally rebelled on European policy votes.”
Ruth Cadbury is Labour and Co-operative MP for Brentford and Isleworth, first elected in 2015. She currently sits on the Transport Committee and the Commons Liaison Committee, and has previously served as Shadow Minister for Justice, Shadow Minister for International Trade, and in housing/planning shadow roles.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty and a solid attendance rate (100% loyalty, 72% attendance). She generally supports welfare expansion (Universal Credit) and NHS funding, while opposing tighter immigration controls and asylum restrictions. Her pattern on VAT, trade union powers and prison sentencing is mixed, and she has four rebel votes against her party, notably on EU-related bills in 2017-2019.
Declared financial interests include: family members engaged in third-party lobbying; gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources; land and property (within or outside the UK); visits outside the UK.
