Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Loughborough, Shepshed and Barrow upon Soar. Population 103,740, notably young (median age 36 vs 41 nationally). Median income £26K (below average).

A loyal government supporter with a clear policy focus, Jeevun Sandher has been most visible outside the chamber as the founder of the Living Standards Coalition -- a group of over 100 Labour MPs lobbying Ed Miliband for a radical overhaul of energy bills to address cost-of-living pressures. He has also led the Hydrogen All-Party Parliamentary Group, championing government investment in Loughborough University's Hydrogen Works project. In votes, his most recent activity has been backing the government's position on the Pension Schemes Bill through multiple Lords amendment defeats, supporting ministers' powers to direct pension fund investment and compel scheme consolidation -- positions that attracted criticism from Lords as an overreach into private savings.

At 87% voting participation and 100% party alignment, Sandher is an active and entirely loyal government MP with no rebel votes to date. His 169 parliamentary contributions span 86 debates, with economy and jobs, fiscal policy, and defence dominating his speech activity -- a pattern consistent with his public advocacy on industrial strategy and local employers. He scores notably lower than his party average on assisted dying safeguards and end-of-life autonomy questions, and slightly higher on climate action. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but very low alignment with pro-business and pro-parliamentary-scrutiny positions.
