Ian Robert Byrne[1] (born 10 May 1972)[2] is a British Labour politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool West Derby since 2019.

Byrne won the "chaotic" selection process by three votes against local councillor Angela Coleman.

[18] Byrne was named as "Overall MP of the Year" for 2021 by the Patchwork Foundation, in recognition for his campaigning against food insecurity and workers' rights during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[19][20] During 2022, Byrne was criticised by some Labour members for allegedly putting campaigns on food poverty and the legacy of the Hillsborough disaster ahead of constituency issues.

[21] West Derby Constituency Labour Party branches and affiliates voted to trigger a reselection process for the seat in October 2022.

[22][23][24][25] Byrne raised concerns about the reselection process, and threatened to take legal action after alleging multiple rule breaches.
