John McDonnell

Voting record

Based on 9 recorded Commons divisions at Second or Third Reading of bills tracked by Hear, Hear — not a full voting record. “Didn’t vote” means Parliament has no vote recorded for them in that division (absent, abstained, paired, or excused). See the All votes tab below for every division.

150 bills currently going through Parliament. John McDonnell has a recorded vote on 6 of them so far.

Most bills only reach a vote at Second or Third Reading, and plenty never get one, so “no recorded vote yet” usually just means the bill hasn’t had a division (or we couldn’t match one to it) — not that John McDonnell avoided it. Click a bill for Parliament’s own page.

Business costs (IPSA)

£273,695.30 paid out to or for John McDonnell across 83 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 1 claim on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved). This does not include John McDonnell’s permanent staff’s salaries — typically the biggest single share of an MP’s real costs — which IPSA only publishes once a year, after the year closes, as one aggregate figure, never as individual claims. Some categories (especially travel) are reported by IPSA as one whole-year total rather than itemised by date — marked “Aggregated” below. See MP expenses to filter this to a single year.

Early Day Motions

John McDonnell has tabled 20 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 356 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions John McDonnell personally tabled — not motions John McDonnell may have added their name to as a supporter, which this data source doesn’t track per MP. See Early Day Motions for what this does and doesn’t cover.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

John McDonnell is a listed officer of 6 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to John McDonnell personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups John McDonnell is a listed officer of — ordinary members aren’t published. Amounts are Parliament’s own figures; where it gave a banded range the midpoint is used, so totals are approximate. Funders are grouped by name, so the same organisation spelled very differently may appear twice.
