Anna McMorrin.
Labour Party MP for Cardiff North.

23 Jun 2026
Aligned with their councils.
A steady, loyalist MP who has never voted against the Labour whip, McMorrin has spent the past week voting through the government's National Security (State Threats) Bill — backing timetable restrictions on debate and opposing amendments that would have added judicial oversight safeguards. She also supported higher fees for local authority clean air zone infrastructure. The most notable recent coverage is negative: fact-checkers accused her in November 2025 of making inaccurate claims in Parliament about asylum hotel reductions and called on her to correct the record under the Ministerial Code. Constituent protests over Gaza — in early 2024 and again in late 2025 — have criticised her for not using her government position to push for aid access.
McMorrin votes with Labour on every recorded division, making her a 100% party-line MP. Her participation rate of 74% sits below the Commons average. Her stance profile flags two notable patterns: a very low alignment with civil liberties positions (7%) and parliamentary scrutiny positions (23%), reflecting consistent support for government powers over oversight amendments. She deviates from her Labour colleagues by voting more strongly in favour of assisted dying access (+28 percentage points above the party average) and energy security measures (+24pp). Her 79 speeches span economy and jobs, local government, and agriculture — a broad rather than specialist spread.
She holds no committee seats, which limits her formal scrutiny role. Her personal testimony on coercive control, covered by the BBC in 2022, established a public profile on domestic abuse policy, and her above-average alignment on child welfare votes (67% vs the party's 47%) hints at a continuing interest in that area. Recent local news — 40 articles in 90 days — carries a neutral average score, covering culture, housing, and health with no strongly positive or negative pattern.
Anna McMorrin is the Labour MP for Cardiff North, and has been an MP continually since 8 June 2017. She currently holds the Government post of Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales Office).
