Boston and Skegness.

Negative press coverage has dominated Richard Tice's recent profile. In April 2026, reports emerged that his company had allegedly failed to pay legally required dividends tax, prompting calls from within Reform UK for Nigel Farage to sack him -- allegations Tice disputed. Separately, he drew criticism for opposing a solar energy project in his constituency while his own business reportedly profits from solar power, and he was named in coverage accusing him of ignoring a constituent who sought his help. His most significant parliamentary act in the period was backing a motion to refer Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Peter Mandelson appointment -- standard Reform UK territory. His five rebel votes on 20 June 2025, all on the assisted dying bill, cut against his party's majority on several procedural and substantive amendments, most notably backing restrictions on voluntary starvation as a route to eligibility -- placing him notably below Reform UK's average on assisted dying safeguards (33% versus the party's 65%).

Tice attends roughly half of Commons votes, below the typical participation rate for MPs, and speaks frequently -- 339 contributions across 226 debates -- with economy, defence, crime, and energy his dominant topics. He votes with Reform UK about 95% of the time. His stance profile shows strong alignment with pro-business and tough-on-crime positions, consistent opposition to workers' rights and progressive taxation, and near-total support for Lords scrutiny of government legislation. He holds no committee seats.

Boston and Skegness is among the most Leave-voting constituencies in England, which frames Tice's immigration and sovereignty-focused interventions. News sentiment over the past 90 days averages mildly negative (-0.16 across 49 articles), driven heavily by MP-performance coverage. Economy and jobs stories carry a modestly positive tone. No committee role data is available.
