Birmingham Yardley is a constituency [n 1] of part of the city of Birmingham represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Jess Phillips of the Labour Party. [n 2]
Yardley Rural District was annexed to Birmingham under the 1911 Greater Birmingham Act.
1918–1950: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Saltley, Small Heath, and Yardley.
1950–1955: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green, and Yardley. [3]
1955–1983: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green, Sheldon, and Yardley. [4]

2024–present: The City of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green; Sheldon; Small Heath; South Yardley; Tyseley & Hay Mills; Yardley East; Yardley West & Stechford. [5]
After adjusting the boundaries to take into account the revised ward structure in the City of Birmingham with effect from May 2018, [6] the Garretts Green ward was transferred to Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North in exchange for the Small Heath ward.
The seat covers south-eastern areas of Birmingham including Stechford, Tyseley, Yardley and Acocks Green. Electoral Calculus describes the seat as "Centrist", characterised by moderate views on social and economic issues. [7]
From the seat's creation in 1918 until the 2005 general election, the MP elected for Birmingham Yardley was on all but three occasions a member of the party that won the general election, making it a former bellwether seat. Exceptions were Labour wins in the constituency compared to Conservative wins nationally in 1951, 1955 and 1992.
