Dispatch
Apr 2026

Represented by Con since 2024. Covers Brownhills, Aldridge and Streetly. Population 95,945. Recorded crime is 36% below the national average. Median income £25K (below average).

A 100% party-line Conservative with no rebel votes, Wendy Morton has nonetheless been active in recent weeks backing House of Lords amendments against the Labour government -- voting on 15 April 2026 to retain Lords changes to both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill. On the latter, she notably supported Lords amendments opposing the government's power to direct pension fund investments and requiring transparency on public sector pension liabilities -- positions aligned with her consistent pro-business and anti-tax-increase stance rather than any break with Conservative leadership.

Morton's parliamentary participation sits at 56%, below the Commons average, though she has racked up 481 contributions across 236 debates, speaking most frequently on the economy, defence, fiscal policy, and local government. She votes strongly pro-business (96%) and opposes employer National Insurance increases (100%), while her support for progressive taxation and workers' rights is near zero. She deviates from her Conservative colleagues by being somewhat more supportive of welfare expansion (+15 percentage points above her party average) and more resistant to tax increases, while voting less frequently in line with the party on armed forces welfare and child welfare issues.
