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.

How often Colum Eastwood voted the same way as most of the Social Democratic & Labour Party party, across every recorded division. Parliament doesn’t publish whether a vote was officially whipped, so this is our best estimate from the public record — not a confirmed fact.
Government & opposition roles
No government or shadow front-bench post on file for Colum Eastwood — most MPs never hold one, so this is the normal state for a backbencher, not a gap in the data.

Written questions to government
No written questions on file for Colum Eastwood yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Colum Eastwood has ever tabled.
Business costs (IPSA)
£377,805.57 paid out to or for Colum Eastwood across 126 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. This does not include Colum Eastwood’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
Colum Eastwood has tabled 2 Early Day Motions on file (as primary sponsor), drawing 38 sponsor signatures in total across them. This only counts motions Colum Eastwood personally tabled — not motions Colum Eastwood 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
Colum Eastwood is a listed officer of 1 All-Party Parliamentary Group 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 Colum Eastwood personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Colum Eastwood 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.
