What do left-wing Labour leadership hopeful Jeremy Corbyn and Colne Valley Conservative MP Jason McCartney have in common?

He’s viewed as something of a rebel.

Jeremy Corbyn has been cast as rebel in the Labour leadership race and his voting credentials certainly back up this perception with 533 of his 3,498 votes in the House of Commons going against his party.

But in a turn of events, data shows that the Colne Valley’s Jason McCartney is one of the 20 most rebellious MPs in parliament, along with the Labour leader hopeful.

The Conservative MP has rebelled against the majority vote of his party on 56 occasions since he was first elected.

This means that he has rebelled against the party 5.4% of the time in House of Commons votes.

This was the 16th biggest proportion of rebellions for any MP, according to data from the Public Whip.

Huddersfield’s Barry Sheerman – who has called for the Labour party’s leadership contest to be halted for an investigation into the “malign” motives of some of those signing up to vote – has rebelled more times but has taken part in more votes, so his rebellions total 1.9% against his party.

The Calder Valley’s Craig Whittaker rebelled on 29 occasions 2.8% of the votes against his Conservative party.

Two of the five MPs whose constituencies are covered by the Examiner have never rebelled - Jo Cox and Paula Sherriff, though they were only elected for the first time in May.

Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn is the second most rebellious MP with 15.2% of his votes going against the prevailing view of the Labour party while David Nuttall, MP for Bury North, is the most rebellious with 16.5% of his votes going against the majority Conservative vote.
