MP Scorecard
Bridget Phillipson
Labour · Houghton and Sunderland South · MP since 06 May 2010
Majority 7,169 of a 78,448 electorate (9.1%) at the last election, per the Members API.
Participation, with the denominator
Recorded as voting in 242 of the 575 Commons divisions in our archive from this Parliament (since 9 July 2024, its first sitting day). An absence is not an abstention - ministers, tellers, paired members and members with other duties do not appear in a division list. The number states what the record shows; it does not grade anyone.
The party record, with the split
Of the 242 votes cast, 238 matched the majority of their own party’s voters in that division and 4 opposed it. Of those, 0 went against a clear party line - four or more of their party’s voters to one on the other side. Parliament does not publish whip instructions, so a free vote where a party splits (and voting with a small minority of colleagues) is visible in the split itself. “Party” means the party recorded against their name in that division list at the time. The split is the record; what it means is your call.
