MP for North Somerset
“A consistently loyal Labour backbencher focused on welfare and animal policy, notable for very low voting attendance.”
Sadik Al-Hassan is a Labour (Co-op) MP for North Somerset, elected in 2024. He currently sits on committees for the Controlled Drugs (Procedure for Specification) Bill and the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill, and has previously served on committees for the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill and the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, reflecting a focus on animal welfare and public health. He is positioned centre-left within Labour.
He shows full party loyalty (100%) with attendance well below the party average (15% vs 33%), and has no rebel votes. His record shows strong support for workers' rights and trade union powers, and for renter protections, while voting against expanding mental health services. His votes on climate measures and transgender rights are mixed, and he has tended to vote against broader bus services regulation.
