Labour Party MP for North Somerset.

A steady, loyalist first-term MP, Al-Hassan has nonetheless been active on constituency issues. His most visible recent work came in early 2026, when he helped reopen two pharmacies in Portishead — meeting with Jhoots directors, raising the matter in Parliament, and working with NHS England and ministers to resolve a local healthcare access gap. His pharmacist background informed that effort directly. He has also written to the housing minister over derelict properties in North Somerset and reported helping around 10,000 constituents with casework since his 2024 election.
Al-Hassan votes with Labour on every recorded division — a 100% party-line record across 451 votes, which puts him among the more loyal members of the parliamentary party. His voting pattern places him strongly on workers' rights and progressive taxation, but below the Labour average on pension protection (17% versus the party's 43%), industrial intervention, and disability benefits. His 83% participation rate is broadly in line with the Commons average. Speeches cluster around health, the economy and jobs, local government, and the environment — consistent with his constituency casework focus and professional background.
He sits on no select committees, which limits his public profile at Westminster beyond chamber contributions. His stance profile on climate action (44% aligned) and parliamentary scrutiny (9% aligned) sits below Labour's average, though the low vote counts in some categories mean these figures should be treated cautiously. Local news coverage over the past 90 days is high in volume but neutral in tone, spanning crime, transport, and local government — no standout controversy or commendation. Data on rebel votes and significant Westminster speeches is limited, reflecting his low-profile first two years.
Sadik Al-Hassan is the Labour MP for North Somerset, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.

Al-Hassan holds no select-committee seat this session. New 2024-intake MPs typically wait one term before being appointed.
