Labour Party MP for Ossett and Denby Dale.
A steady, loyalist MP who has never broken with Labour in Parliament, Jade Botterill has been most active recently as a teller — a procedural role — during the Immigration and Asylum Bill's Second Reading in July 2026, helping to manage voting on a bill that passed its first major parliamentary hurdle. She also backed two statutory instruments modernising trade union balloting to allow electronic and workplace voting, in line with government policy, and voted with the government majority against amendments to the Public Office (Accountability) Bill. There are no rebel votes on record and no significant controversy in recent news coverage.
Botterill votes with the Labour party line 100% of the time across 470 of 575 recorded votes — an 82% participation rate, broadly in line with the Commons average. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights, progressive taxation, and fiscal responsibility, with low alignment on civil liberties and parliamentary scrutiny measures — again tracking the government position. The one area where she sits meaningfully to the left of her parliamentary party is assisted dying: she voted consistently to expand access, placing her 42 percentage points above the Labour average on that issue.
Her 28 parliamentary speeches, spread across economy, local government, social care, health, and education, suggest a generalist constituency focus rather than a specialist policy brief — she holds no committee seats. Local news coverage, though sparse in the past 90 days, shows her engaging on anti-social behaviour in Ossett, championing a nursery expansion, and bringing local business figures to Downing Street. The overall picture is of a backbencher building a constituency profile while staying firmly within the government fold.
Jade Botterill is the Labour MP for Ossett and Denby Dale, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024. She currently holds the Government post of Assistant Whip.
