MP for West Bromwich
“A party-loyal Labour MP for West Bromwich who rarely rebels but has notably low attendance in Parliament.”
Sarah Coombes is the Labour and Co-operative MP for West Bromwich, first elected in July 2024. She has served on the Modernisation Committee (Sept 2024–Dec 2025) and sits on the centre-left of Parliament.
