MP for Tynemouth
Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons
“A highly loyal Labour MP who rarely rebels and now serves as Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons.”
Sir Alan Campbell is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Tynemouth, first elected in 1997, who has held both government and opposition whip roles and, since September 2025, serves as Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons. He sits on several parliamentary committees and now leads in the Commons as part of his core government duties.
He has a near-perfect party loyalty record (100%), with attendance well above the party average and only one recorded rebel vote. He sits on the political centre-left (44/100). His voting shows strong support for Universal Credit and NHS funding, generally against immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme, with a mixed pattern on VAT, transgender rights, trade unions, and prison sentencing.
