Bexhill & Battle

Dispatch
Apr 2026

Represented by Con since 2024. Covers Bexhill-on-Sea, Battle and Ticehurst. Population 91,934, notably older (median age 53 vs 41 nationally). Recorded crime is 57% below the national average.

A reliable Conservative backbencher with no rebel votes on record, Kieran Mullan has nonetheless been active in opposition-mode since the 2024 election. His most recent notable votes -- supporting Lords amendments to the Victims and Courts Bill in March 2026 and backing opposition motions on defence spending and oil and gas policy -- place him firmly in the Conservative opposition bloc challenging the Labour government. His defence and energy votes reflect a consistent line: that the government is moving too fast on decarbonisation at the expense of energy security, and too slowly on military commitments. His voting record shows 100% alignment with the Conservative majority on every division where he participated.

Mullan votes in 74% of divisions -- slightly below the Commons average -- and has never broken with his party whip. His stance profile is sharply defined: he is fully opposed to tax increases and progressive taxation, fully supportive of business interests and parliamentary scrutiny, and votes against the government's agenda in roughly 95% of cases. His 52 parliamentary contributions span crime, the economy, social care, defence, and health, suggesting a reasonably broad brief rather than a narrow specialism. He scores somewhat below his party average on pro-business flexibility votes (-10 percentage points), a minor deviation.
