Alyn and Deeside.

A steady, loyal Labour operator, Mark Tami has cast 483 votes in this parliament -- a 93% participation rate, above the Commons average -- without once breaking from his party. His most notable recent votes back the government's King's Speech programme and the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill, reflecting a representative who supports public ownership of steel: a matter of direct relevance given his Alyn and Deeside constituency includes major manufacturing employers. He also voted to tighten asylum support rules, allowing ministers to withdraw accommodation and financial assistance from failed asylum seekers who work illegally.

His voting record marks him out as strongly pro-workers-rights and pro-progressive-taxation, while he rarely votes with pro-business or pro-parliamentary-scrutiny positions. Two deviations from Labour norms stand out: he votes more consistently for welfare reform than the average Labour MP (100% vs 79%), and he is notably more cautious on assisted dying than his colleagues, voting for access and safeguards measures at roughly half the rate of his parliamentary peers. No speech data is available for this parliament, making it difficult to track what issues he raises in debates.

Tami sits on the Committee of Selection and the Speaker's Conference -- procedural and constitutional roles rather than policy-facing ones. Local news coverage in the past 90 days is high in volume but neutral in sentiment, dominated by culture, sport, and crime stories rather than specific MP activity. His strongest press comes from election results: he was the only Labour MP to hold a north Wales seat in 2019, and increased his majority in 2024 after boundary changes enlarged his constituency.
