He is a Eurosceptic, and voted for the UK to leave the European Union in the 2016 Brexit Referendum.[4]

As Member of Parliament for Hornchurch, he had a record as a rebel. He voted against tuition fees and top-up fees for higher education, against cuts in lone parent benefits (the first major rebellion under the Blair government) and against the Iraq War.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}

He was involved in local campaigns, for example to save a local primary school, to prevent the loss of a popular GP surgery in Rainham and against proposals to cut the number of beds at Oldchurch Hospital.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}

He was one of 16 signatories of an open letter to Ed Miliband in January 2015 calling on the party to commit to oppose further austerity, take rail franchises back into public ownership and strengthen collective bargaining arrangements.[5]

On 9 February 2015, he was elected, unopposed, to succeed Dave Watts as the Chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party.[6]

On 8 May 2015, he was re-elected as MP for the Leyton and Wanstead constituency with 58.6% of the vote.
