Voting record
In the 489 recorded divisions where Rushanara Ali and at least one other Labour member were recorded voting, Rushanara Ali voted the same way as most voting Labour members 479 times (98.0%).
This compares Rushanara Ali 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.

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.
Meetings recorded in departmental transparency returns
30 meetings recorded under this name as a minister in the quarterly returns of Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The name in the department’s file matched exactly one member of the Commons, which is the only reason it is shown here.
Source: each department’s “ministerial gifts, hospitality, travel and meetings” return on GOV.UK (Open Government Licence v3), read by Civometry and listed under ministerial transparency. A recorded meeting establishes that the department published the line; it does not establish what was said or what followed. Every meeting is on the member’s graph page.
