Voting record

In the 290 recorded divisions where Dame Karen Bradley and at least one other Conservative member were recorded voting, Dame Karen Bradley voted the same way as most voting Conservative members 290 times (100.0%).

This compares Dame Karen Bradley with other members of their own party who were recorded voting in the same division. It is not a measure of loyalty to a whip: Civometry holds no whipping records, so it cannot say which votes were whipped, and voting differently from party colleagues is not described here as a rebellion. Members not recorded in a division are excluded from the comparison rather than counted, because an absence from a division list is not a vote and does not mean the member was absent from the House.

Donations reported to the Electoral Commission

The register holds no donations reported against this name. Donations are matched on the regulated entity name exactly as the Electoral Commission publishes it; a member who reports under a different form of their name will not match here, and no similar name is substituted.

Source: Electoral Commission register of donations. Reporting thresholds apply, so this is not every sum given. A donation is a lawful, reported transaction; its presence here says nothing about why it was made and nothing about anything that followed it.

Source: IPSA, MP staffing and business costs (Open Government Licence v3), joined on IPSA’s Parliamentary ID, which is Parliament’s member id. These are the running costs of an MP’s office and staff, claimed within IPSA’s rules and paid by IPSA; they are not the member’s salary and not personal income. A claim is a claim, not a finding. Staffing costs are published by IPSA in aggregate categories, not per employee.

Government posts, as Parliament records them

6 government posts since 2010 in Parliament’s record for this member, with the dates and the department it gives. A post is an appointment; nothing here says how it was discharged.

Meetings recorded in departmental transparency returns

120 meetings recorded as a minister in the returns of Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (2017 to 2023). Each line is shown here only because the minister named in the department’s file was exactly one person in Parliament’s register of government posts at the time (or, for a title such as “Prime Minister”, the one holder of that post on that date).

The 12 most recent. The counterpart and purpose are the department’s own words.
