Wolverhampton West.
Labour Party MP Warinder Juss holds the seat on 44.3% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
Wolverhampton West's MP has been raising constituent concerns publicly rather than making waves in Westminster. Warinder Juss pledged to escalate racist social media abuse directed at Wolves fans to government ministers, sharing his own experience of racial abuse in the process. He has also convened a community coffee morning on social media access for under-16s, feeding local views into the national consultation, and publicised that ending the two-child benefit cap will help 2,760 children in his constituency. There are no rebel votes on record -- Juss has voted with Labour on every occasion since his election in July 2024.
His parliamentary participation is solid at 90%, above the Commons average, and his voting record is straightforwardly loyal: 100% alignment with the Labour majority across 468 votes. His stance profile is broadly in line with the party on progressive taxation and workers' rights, though he scores notably low on pro-business and parliamentary-scrutiny measures -- the latter reflecting consistent votes against opposition amendments rather than principled dissent. He has spoken across 203 debates, with contributions concentrated on the economy and jobs, crime, local government, health, and social care, suggesting a generalist brief rather than a narrow specialism.
The most meaningful contextual note is his seat on the Justice Committee, which squares with the crime and social-care themes running through his speeches. His deviations from the Labour average are modest: slightly more resistant to Lords amendments than most Labour MPs, and marginally more sceptical on assisted dying access than the party norm. Local news coverage -- drawn from 142 articles over 90 days -- is broadly neutral in tone, dominated by culture, community, and crime stories. No significant negative coverage is on record.
