Stephen Morgan.
Labour Party MP for Portsmouth South.

14 Jul 2026
Labour Party MP in Liberal Democrats-controlled territory.
A loyal Labour MP with no rebel votes, Stephen Morgan has been most visible recently through constituency advocacy — welcoming a £450,000 funding package for a Portsmouth theatre, championing a new £1.56 million SEND service, and publicly challenging the local council over fly-tipping. In parliament, his recent votes have backed the government's climate agenda, including bringing international aviation and shipping within statutory carbon budgets, and supported the 50% steel import tariff aimed at protecting domestic production.
Morgan votes with Labour on every recorded division — a 100% party-line record — and participates at 82% of votes, slightly above the Commons average. His speeches are dominated by education (58 contributions) and social care (27), with cost-of-living a recurring third theme; this pattern suggests a consistent focus on public services rather than economic or defence affairs. His stance profile reflects a government loyalist: strongly aligned on fiscal responsibility and progressive taxation, but among the least likely Labour MPs to back parliamentary scrutiny measures or Lords amendments. He voted notably more often than his Labour colleagues in favour of assisted dying access, diverging by around 30 percentage points from the party average.
Morgan holds no select committee seats, so his influence runs primarily through chamber speeches and local advocacy. His NHS funding voting record sits 51 percentage points below his party's average — a striking gap given his heavy speech focus on health and social care — though without more detail on which specific votes drove that figure, the cause is unclear. News coverage over the past 90 days skews local and broadly positive, centred on education, culture and environment. Data on his pre-2026 record is available from 2017 onwards.
Stephen Morgan is the Labour MP for Portsmouth South, and has been an MP continually since 8 June 2017. He currently holds the Government post of Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury.
