Poplar and Limehouse is a constituency{{#tag:ref|A borough constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} which was first created in 2010. It has been represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Apsana Begum, who was elected as a Labour Party MP.{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every five years.|group= n}} The whip was withdrawn on 23 July 2024, as a result of her voting to scrap the two child benefit cap, and she was suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party. Begum now sits as an Independent MP until the whip is re-established.

History

;Political history

The predecessors to this constituency (area electing MPs to the House of Commons) (see history of boundaries) since 1992 have elected Labour Party representatives. In 2010, Jim Fitzpatrick had a majority of 12.9% over the runner-up Conservative Party candidate.

The 2015 re-election of Fitzpatrick made the seat the 66th safest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.{{cite web |url=http://www.ukpolitical.info/labour-mps-elected-2015.htm |title=Labour Members of Parliament 2015 |website=UK Political.info |archive-date=2018-09-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929214847/http://www.ukpolitical.info/labour-mps-elected-2015.htm |url-status=live}}

In 2019, Apsana Begum, selected to succeed the retiring Fitzpatrick as Labour's candidate, beat the runner-up Conservative Party candidate by 28,904 votes.{{Cite news|title=Poplar & Limehouse parliamentary constituency - Election 2019|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/constituencies/E14000882|access-date=2020-06-13|archive-date=2020-10-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201012004452/https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/constituencies/E14000882|url-status=live}} This was more than Jim Fitzpatrick’s 27,712 vote majority{{Cite web|title=Poplar and Limehouse - 2017 Election Results - General Elections Online|url=https://electionresults.parliament.uk/election/2017-06-08/results/Location/Constituency/Poplar%20and%20Limehouse|access-date=2020-06-13|website=electionresults.parliament.uk|archive-date=2020-06-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200613171057/https://electionresults.parliament.uk/election/2017-06-08/results/Location/Constituency/Poplar%20and%20Limehouse|url-status=live}} at the 2017 general election, though the majority size in terms of vote share remained stable at 47.2%, and Labour's vote share declined.

Boundaries

{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Poplar and Limehouse (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|text=Map of boundaries 2010-2024}}

Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which proposed the seat's creation for the 2010 general election, since when it has consisted of the following electoral wards:

Blackwall and Cubitt Town, Bromley-by-Bow, East India and Lansbury, Limehouse, Mile End East, Millwall, St Katharine’s and Wapping, and Shadwell within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets

=History of boundaries=

Before 2010, this constituency would map into all but the north-east of the old Poplar and Canning Town constituency, plus the western end of Shadwell Ward and in the west the whole of St Katharine's & Wapping Ward, formerly parts of Bethnal Green and Bow.
The areas of the old constituency that were in the London Borough of Newham were removed and transferred to East Ham (5.1% of Poplar and Canning Town) and West Ham (24.9%).{{cite web |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/index.html?bdy_nolon_summary.html |title=Electoral Calculus |website=www.electoralcalculus.co.uk |access-date=2006-08-29 |archive-date=2006-10-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061004070258/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/index.html?bdy_nolon_summary.html |url-status=live }}

;Nomenclature

Alternative names, including "Tower Hamlets South" and "Poplar and Millwall" were rejected following public consultation.{{cn|date=December 2024}}

Local authority boundary review

Following a review of ward boundaries in Tower Hamlets which became effective in May 2014,{{Cite web |last=LGBCE |title=Tower Hamlets {{!}} LGBCE |url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/tower-hamlets |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=www.lgbce.org.uk |language=en}} the contents (but not the boundaries) of the constituency were changed to:

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets wards of Blackwall and Cubitt Town, Bromley North, Bromley South, Canary Wharf, Island Gardens, Lansbury, Limehouse, Mile End, Poplar, St Katharine's and Wapping, and Shadwell; and a small part of Whitechapel ward.

Further to the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the composition of the constituency was reduced to bring the electorate within the permitted range. Shadwell and part of the Whitechapel wards were transferred to the re-established seat of Bethnal Green and Stepney, and the Bromley North ward was moved to the newly created constituency of Stratford and Bow.{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule 1 Part 3 London region}}

Constituency profile

The constituency and its predecessor seats covering the Isle of Dogs have consistently been won by the Labour Party since the 1920s. The district has changed vastly over this time, and great wealth and considerable poverty now co-exist side by side as an example of income inequality.

Once home to shipping and heavy industry, the Docklands area was derelict for many years, before redevelopment began in the late-1980s. Now the area around Canary Wharf is one of the country's largest financial districts and has several landmark skyscrapers, such as One Canada Square.

The redevelopment of the Docklands has led to the construction of luxury housing in the constituency, which has somewhat altered the demographics. However, in parts of the Isle of Dogs and in the areas north, east and west of Poplar, there are still areas of high deprivation.

At the end of 2012, 6% of the population of the constituency were unemployment benefit claimants, ranking sixth among London seats (the highest percentage was Tottenham at 7.9%), and above the London-wide average of 3.9%.[https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics Unemployment claimants by constituency] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802131558/https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics |date=2017-08-02 }} The Guardian

In the 2016 EU referendum, like the majority of London; the constituency voted 65.79% for Remain.{{cite web|title=Poplar and Limehouse, UK Parliament Constituency|url=http://democraticdashboard.com/widget/constituency/poplar-and-limehouse/general-election|date=11 January 2019|access-date=11 January 2019|archive-date=11 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111232805/http://democraticdashboard.com/widget/constituency/poplar-and-limehouse/general-election|url-status=usurped}}

The constituency is religiously diverse: 38.8% of residents are Muslim, 24.2% Christian, 2.8% Hindu, and 1.0% Buddhist. 24.8% claimed no religious affiliation.{{Cite web |title=Poplar and Limehouse |url=https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/customprofiles/build/#E14000882 |access-date=2024-05-04 |website=www.ons.gov.uk |language=en}}
