MP for Wolverhampton North East
“A party-loyal Labour backbencher with a centre-left stance who sits on the Education Committee and has occasionally broken ranks on end-of-life amendments.”
Sureena Brackenridge is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Wolverhampton North East, elected in July 2024. She serves on the Education Committee (since October 2024) and has previously sat on committees for the Finance (No. 2) Bill and the Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill. Her career so far marks her as a backbench MP with a centre-left leaning and a detectable focus on education policy.
Her voting record shows very high party loyalty (99%) but low attendance (16% of votes), with three rebel votes. She generally votes for workers’ rights protections and for trade union powers, and for renter protections, while she often votes against Universal Credit expansions and against increasing prison sentencing or regulating bus services. She has a mixed record on mental health, transgender rights, and climate measures, and sits in the centre-left of the party.
Declared financial interest: gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources (one entry).
