Labour Party MP for North Somerset.

A steady Labour loyalist with a strong local footprint, Sadik Al-Hassan has voted with his party on every recorded division since entering Parliament in 2024 — 100% alignment across 483 votes. His most recent activity has been unremarkable in parliamentary terms: he backed the government's Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading, supported modernising trade union balloting rules, and voted against amendments to the Public Office (Accountability) Bill in line with the government's position. No rebel votes, no dissenting gestures.
His participation rate of 84% sits slightly below the Commons average, but he has been active at the despatch box — 134 contributions across 67 debates, with health and the economy dominating his speeches. His stance profile flags strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, and low alignment with parliamentary and Lords scrutiny measures, suggesting he backs the government's tendency to resist amendment pressure. One deviation worth noting: he is considerably more supportive of assisted dying access than his average Labour colleague — 89% versus the party's 58% — a rare instance where his voting record diverges from the party norm on conscience matters.
Outside Westminster, his most notable coverage centres on constituency casework: he helped reopen two pharmacies in Portishead — where his background as a pharmacist gave him direct leverage with NHS England and ministers — and has pursued derelict property cases in Clevedon with the local council. Local news over the past 90 days has skewed toward crime and housing issues rather than parliamentary activity. He holds no committee seats. The overall picture is of a first-term MP building a local reputation while maintaining an orthodox parliamentary record.
Sadik Al-Hassan is the Labour MP for North Somerset, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.

Al-Hassan holds no select-committee seat this session. New 2024-intake MPs typically wait one term before being appointed.
