Labour Party MP for Loughborough.
A 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes, Jeevun Sandher has nonetheless carved out a visible policy role since entering Parliament in 2024. He founded the Living Standards Coalition, which gathered over 100 Labour MPs to lobby Energy Secretary Ed Miliband for a radical overhaul of energy bills — a direct response to cost-of-living pressures his Loughborough constituents flagged as a priority. He has also led the Hydrogen All-Party Parliamentary Group, championing government investment in Loughborough University's Hydrogen Works project. Both moves suggest an MP who works within the system rather than against it, but who builds influence through coalition-building rather than rebellion.
His parliamentary record is active: an 86% voting participation rate sits above the Commons average, and his 169 contributions span economy and jobs, fiscal policy, defence, social care, and energy — a spread that reflects both national Labour priorities and local industrial concerns. His stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, but he consistently votes against positions characterised as pro-parliamentary scrutiny, pro-Lords scrutiny, and pro-civil-liberties — patterns typical of a loyalist government backbencher backing the executive's programme against procedural challenges from opposition and the Lords.
Where Sandher deviates from his Labour colleagues, the clearest signal is on assisted dying: he votes for access at a rate 31 percentage points above the party average, placing him among the bill's stronger supporters. He holds no committee seats, limiting his formal scrutiny role. Recent local news coverage — spanning culture, transport, and crime — carries a neutral average score, offering no strong signal of local controversy or acclaim. Speech data runs to March 2026; voting data is current.
Dr Jeevun Sandher is the Labour MP for Loughborough, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.
