MP for Finchley and Golders Green
Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)
“A loyal Labour MP and Justice Minister who rarely rebels but has unusually low voting attendance.”
Sarah Sackman is the Labour Co-op MP for Finchley and Golders Green, elected in July 2024. She currently serves as Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice, after a brief period as Solicitor General in 2024, and she sits on committees connected with Courts and Tribunals. Her background is in legal and public service, with a focus on justice and court processes.
Her voting record shows 100% party loyalty (above the 99% party average) with no rebel votes, and a notably low attendance rate of 15% (versus 34% party average). On policy, she generally backs welfare and workers’ rights—supporting Universal Credit, protections for workers, and trade union powers—as well as regulation of bus services and protest rights. Her record on mental health, VAT, prisons, transgender rights, and rail ownership is more mixed, with several votes against transgender rights and against publicly owned railways.
Her register lists 18 declared interests, notably 10 entries for donations and other support for MP activities (including loans), along with entries on employment and earnings, ad hoc payments, gifts and hospitality from UK sources, and land or property.
