Declared interests
MPs must register financial interests within 28 days. This is the register’s own text, republished verbatim from the official Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Registering an interest is a requirement met, not a finding against anyone.
Visits outside the UK
- International visit to India between 25 May 2026 and 30 May 2026 (registered 11 June 2026)
- International visit to Indonesia between 26 March 2026 and 10 April 2026 (registered 21 May 2026)

Voting record
In the 484 recorded divisions where Kerry McCarthy and at least one other Labour member were recorded voting, Kerry McCarthy voted the same way as most voting Labour members 483 times (99.8%).
This compares Kerry McCarthy 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.
