David Lammy.

As Foreign Secretary, David Lammy is one of the most prominent members of Keir Starmer's Cabinet — and that visibility cuts both ways. A March 2026 Novara Media projection suggested he could lose his Tottenham seat to the Greens, with his support reportedly down from 57% to 26%. Separately, his attendance at international conferences alongside figures including JD Vance drew criticism that he is drifting from his constituents' concerns. He cast one rebel vote, opposing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Second Reading in November 2024 — his only break from Labour's party line across the votes recorded.

His parliamentary participation rate is strikingly low at 20% (111 of 547 votes), which reflects the demands of a senior ministerial role rather than disengagement. When he does vote, he backs the Labour majority 99.1% of the time. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, and he sits above the Labour average on criminal justice reform and climate action. He votes below the party average on armed forces welfare measures — a pattern visible in his recent opposition to Conservative amendments on SEN continuity for service children. His 1,527 parliamentary contributions span defence, crime, and the economy, consistent with a Foreign Secretary's brief.

Lammy has represented Tottenham since 2000, and local housing issues — including the Grenfell fire aftermath and cladding disputes — have featured in his news coverage over the years. His recent press is mixed: positive pieces highlight constituency engagement with Tottenham's Kurdish community, while critical coverage focuses on ministerial conduct. He holds no committee roles, as is standard for Cabinet ministers. Voting data covers Lords amendments and some procedural motions, so his full record on primary legislation may be broader than the figures here capture.
