Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East.
Logan's most visible recent action has been voting with the SNP to refer Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee over allegations he misled Parliament on the Peter Mandelson appointment — a motion Labour defeated comfortably but which the SNP backed unanimously. He has also voted against both sets of government asylum support regulations and against endorsing Labour's legislative programme in the King's Speech vote, consistent with SNP opposition to the government across the board. Earlier coverage placed him at the centre of the WASPI compensation campaign, where he publicly condemned the government's decision not to compensate women affected by state pension age changes as a "betrayal," promising the fight was "not over."
The record presents a mixed picture. Logan has voted in just 26% of divisions — 143 of 554 — making him one of the least active voters among Scottish MPs; the Scottish Daily Express named him among the "laziest" Scottish MPs in November 2025. Where he does vote, he is a 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes. His 327 speech contributions across 166 debates suggest he is more active at the despatch box than in the division lobby, with economy and jobs, social care, health, and fiscal policy dominating his subject matter. He serves as SNP DEFRA spokesperson, which explains his vocal opposition to the government's inheritance tax changes affecting farms.
Logan holds no committee roles. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and opposition to employer National Insurance increases, while his low votes on fiscal responsibility and progressive taxation reflect SNP positioning rather than personal deviation. His pro-business score sits notably higher than the SNP average. No recent local news sentiment data is available for the past 90 days.
Seamus Logan is the Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024. He currently undertakes the roles of Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), and Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Health and Social Care).
