MP for Tamworth
“A party-loyal Labour MP with zero rebel votes, focused on workers’ rights and trade, and active on key trade and security committees.”
Sarah Edwards is a Labour (Co-op) MP for Tamworth, elected on 19 October 2023. She sits on the Business and Trade Committee and the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art, and serves on the Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls Sub-Committee (since March 2025). Her parliamentary roles have included work on the Pension Schemes Bill (July–September 2025) and the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill (January 2024).
Her voting record shows full party loyalty (100%) with a notably low attendance rate (16%). She has a mixed approach on Universal Credit, but generally supports workers’ rights and trade union powers, VAT changes, and regulation of bus services. She tends to oppose tighter immigration controls, the asylum system, and the Rwanda deportation scheme, with a mixed pattern on mental health services and a tendency to vote against transgender rights.
Declares one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
