You're voting for

Your Member of Parliament

One MP represents this constituency in the House of Commons. They vote on national laws, taxes and budgets, and take up constituents' problems with government bodies. Here, for Holborn and St Pancras.

What this office decides

Tax and benefits. Income tax, National Insurance, Universal Credit and pensions are set by Parliament.
The NHS. Its budget and the law it runs under, in England.
Immigration and borders. Who may come, stay and work.
Crime and justice. Criminal law and sentencing.
Defence and foreign affairs. Armed forces, treaties, aid.
National housing law. Renting rules, planning law, building targets.

What it does not

Bin collections. Your council.
Local planning decisions. Your council's planning committee.
Council tax levels. Your council.
Local road repairs. Your council or the county.
Devolved matters. In Scotland and Wales, health and education are decided there.

Candidates often campaign on things their office cannot change. That is not dishonest in itself — an MP can press a council, a councillor can lobby government — but it is worth knowing which is which. Summarised from the Local Government Association and UK Parliament descriptions of each role.

How this vote is counted: first past the post. One cross; the candidate with the most votes wins.Worked example

Every ballot with one cross is counted for that candidate. The one with the most votes wins, even without a majority. Example: A 4,000, B 3,900, C 2,100. A wins with 40% of the vote; the 60% cast for others elect nobody. There are no second preferences; a vote for a candidate who does not win has no further effect.

In their own words

I am delighted that local members have put their trust in me to be Labour’s candidate in the area I’ve grown up in.

This place welcomed my family as refugees and gave us hope when we needed it most. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to build a life here, serving our community as a councillor, school governor, and community activist. Now I am standing to say thank you and to give back the hope you gave me.

Throughout this campaign, I promise to put our communities at the heart of everything I do, now and for the future. Together, we can make hope win.

In their own words

"I am honoured to have been selected as the Conservative Candidate for Holborn and St Pancras. This is the community where I have lived, raised my family, and call home.

From Georgian terraces, squares and the Regent's Canal to the Knowledge Quarter's research, AI and science organisations today, Holborn and St Pancras have enormous potential that, with the right political leadership, can become an even better place to live, work and belong. We need a Member of Parliament focused on safer streets, more family homes and cutting the cost of living.

While families are leaving Holborn & St Pancras, the Green leader wants to talk about Gaza. Holborn & St Pancras has recently endured a 'Never Here MP'. We do not want another one!

Under Kemi Badenoch's leadership, the Conservative Party has changed; we have clear, fully costed plans to recruit 10,000 more police officers, scrap stamp duty on family homes and cut bills with our Cheap Power Plan.

That is the message I look forward to campaigning on over the next coming weeks.”

In their own words

I have recently joined the CLIMATE PARTY , whose leader is ED GEMMELL .

In particular, the Climate Party is highly motivated to field a candidate for the upcoming Holborn & St Pancras by-election (the seat from which Keir Starmer recently resigned). It would generate a lot of publicity and give them a platform to debate with and challenge the other parties.

Now, do not LAUGH, but, um – [blush] – I am to be that very candidate… as no-one else is available to do it.

Do not fear for my sanity. I am only a ‘paper candidate’ as I’m too busy to do anything on this other than have my name on the ballot. Others will do all the clever stuff. I will not take part in any of the hustings, indeed not even go to the vote count as Alistair McGowan will be performing at Red Hedgehog on 8 October, when voting takes place. (Of course, either Labour or the Greens will win this seat in any case.)

In their own words

Our party will offer voters something different. We believe the political focus should be centred on wages, housing, energy, peace, public services and national renewal. Currently no other candidate offers the voters this choice.

The Greens with their support for the assisted dying Bill, and reckless backing for the war in Ukraine just this last week have shown voters they cannot be trusted to make choices that reflect the views of the majority of Britons. They are no alternative.

At a time when millions are struggling to heat their homes, pay their rent and provide for their families, we believe politics must focus on bread-and-butter issues and the economic wellbeing of ordinary people. Greens and Labour support sending endless £billions to Ukraine. Instead of addressing poverty, immigration, energy prices, they were voting together last week to introduce legislation to make killing people legal. We believe voters will welcome the chance to reject this madness.

We believe Britain's future lies in reindustrialisation, national sovereignty and economic policies that put workers, communities and productive industry first. For these reasons, we believe voters deserve a genuine socialist alternative, not simply another variation of the existing political consensus.

In their own words

Tyler is a lawyer who has called London home for the past ten years, living across the capital from north to west. Alongside his legal career he has served as a school governor, volunteered in schools providing careers advice, and mentored aspiring young lawyers who do not always have the connections to break into the profession.

He is an active member of his local community and attends church in the city, where he says he tries to live by the same values he wants to bring to public life, honesty, service and standing up for what is right.

We are being honest with the voters about this election.

Entirely because of mass immigration, this is not a seat a party promising deportations of any kind can win.

That’s just the electoral reality. For now, at least.

So for the remaining patriots in Holborn & St Pancras, this is a free hit.

London is lost. It must be restored.

There is still time, just.

If you agree, then vote for it.

Vote Restore Britain.

In their own words

I’m standing in the Holborn & St Pancras by-election on behalf of the Rejoin EU Party to give voice to the majority in favour of our membership of the EU and to protest that the main parties aren’t giving the issue the importance it merits.

As a long-term resident of the area, I’m aware of local issues and, if elected, would look forward to working on those matters with our local council.

Our constituency is arguably the most exciting one in the country, inclusive, creative, enterprising, hard working and great fun.

We’re well positioned to lead in London, in the UK and significantly to have a role at the heart of the EU.

In their own words

As a former police detective, it depresses me to see the state of crime and policing in our capital. Residents no longer feel safe and our police officers are struggling to cope. Police stations are closing left, right and centre, yet Labour don’t care and our Mayor continues to gaslight Londoners over their safety.

I’m standing to ensure that people in Holborn & St Pancras feel safe on their own streets again. They deserve more than the chaos of Labour and the divisive and contradictory politics of the Green Party. Only Reform UK can offer them hope and a fresh start

In their exact words Source: Manifesto

In the First 100 days of a Reform UK Government, we will release a Budget that increases the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000.

In their own words

I am proud and honoured to have been selected for a byelection in the constituency where I have lived and worked for much of the past 20 years.

I love this place and so do the people whose doors I’ve knocked on in recent days – but it can be even better. I know times are tough in Holborn and St Pancras. My story of constant moving around flats is such a common story for Londoners – and I know many people here are really struggling right now. I’ll fight to turn this around.

Greens are underdogs here but we have the momentum – and I know we can achieve a historic victory in one of Labour’s safest seats. We will fight a positive campaign on the issues we know people care about, and to put as much pressure as we can on Labour to lower bills, for much more affordable housing and rent controls, to reduce massive wealth inequality and to make sure Labour don’t back down on climate action by allowing more North Sea drilling.

If elected, I will fight every day, in this constituency and in the Houses of Parliament, for the things people care about. Against injustice and on the side of ordinary people, not big money and the powerful.

In their own words

Jonathan Silberman, 75, is the organiser of the Communist League's Central Committee. He writes for The Militant newsweekly and is the director of Pathfinder Books. As a shopfloor worker in manufacturing industries over decades, he has led and organised solidarity for strikes over jobs, wages, and union rights. In the UK and internationally, Jonathan joins efforts to defend Cuba’s socialist revolution, fight Jew-hatred, back immigrant rights and build the communist movement.

He says: "What working people in Holborn and St. Pancras, the UK and globally face now is a march by rival capitalist powers to World War III alongside a mounting attack on our living standards and rights. Cuba's workers and farmers face an accelerated assault on their socialist revolution as Washington with the tacit support of London seeks to crush that example. "Jew hatred is on the rise. Labour, Conservative, Green, Reform, Restore UK – capitalist parties all – have no faith in the capacities of toiling human beings. The march to war can only be ended by working people ourselves taking political power away from the propertied war mongers with their “dog-eat-dog” moral values – just as working people did in Cuba in 1959. "The Communist League says fighting Jew-hatred and defending Israel's existence as a refuge for Jews – is decisive for the working class, as well as pushing back attacks on immigrants and advancing solidarity with workers struggles internationally. Only by building a revolutionary working-class party to lead millions to replace capitalist rule can we put an end to exploitation, all national oppression and advance to a socialist world. Build the Communist League – Join our Campaign."

In their own words

We are the only party to lower taxes and recover taxes from multinationals to fund our policies. We are the only party to write policies which tackle the root causes of poverty.

We would raise £40.5bn on a 5% turnover tax on multinationals Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Starbucks, Shell etc, who send all their profits abroad to avoid paying Corporation Tax (it would be offset against Corporation Tax - so British companies would pay less).

We would stop public spending on ‘woke’ diversity schemes and partisan campaigns. Also remove some additional ‘social requirements’ for Government contracts which are costing £379bn2 per year, prioritising value for money. Slashing these by 10% would save about £37.9bn.

I'm married with 3 children. I co-founded a food bank in NW3 during lockdown which gave me oversight of vulnerable people and insight into their needs.

I've been involved with various out-reaches over the years including helping the homeless, supporting destitute women and refugees. I’ve campaigned on parental views being represented in school RSE. I’m a member of the SACRE committee in my area. I work part time as a designer. In terms of lawmaking, the closer we align our laws with those of the creator, the more holistic the result. Only God’s laws (not man made laws) judge the thoughts and attitudes of the heart to restrain wrongdoing.
