Voting record
In the 437 recorded divisions where Alex Ballinger and at least one other Labour member were recorded voting, Alex Ballinger voted the same way as most voting Labour members 437 times (100.0%).
This compares Alex Ballinger 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: 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.
