These are factual counts from the public record — not a score. MPs do different jobs: list and electorate MPs, ministers and backbenchers all contribute differently, and MPs first elected in 2023 have a shorter record. We show the facts so you can decide what counts as doing enough.

Voting record

Most votes in Parliament are party votes — MPs vote as a block with their party, so on the large majority of votes Phil Twyford voted the same way as Labour. The votes that reveal an MP’s own view are conscience (personal) votes, where MPs vote individually.

Phil Twyford’s conscience votes and key divisions this term are being added from the official record (Hansard / parliamentary divisions).
