Won by Lab in its first election in 2024. Covers Ellesmere Port and Bebington. Population 104,783.

A minister-level loyalist with one notable exception: Justin Madders broke with Labour five times on the assisted dying bill in June 2025, voting against its Third Reading and supporting amendments designed to close a loophole that would have allowed voluntary self-starvation to qualify someone as terminally ill. These were his only rebel votes in the current parliament, making his opposition to the bill's final form a deliberate and considered stance rather than a pattern of dissent.

Otherwise, Madders votes with Labour 97.4% of the time and participates at 87% -- broadly in line with Commons averages. His voting profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but notably low scores on civil liberties and public health measures relative to his own party. He votes consistently to override Lords amendments, sitting 26 percentage points above the Labour average on that measure. His speeches concentrate heavily on economy and jobs (91 contributions) and labour market issues (61), which aligns with his role on the Business and Trade Committee and its sub-committee on economic security and arms export controls.

MP voted NoAgainst party majority
