Bridlington and The Wolds.

Dewhirst has been active on several fronts recently. In April he voted to refer Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, backed Lords attempts to constrain government powers over pension fund investment direction, and opposed the carry-over of the Northern Ireland Troubles Legacy Bill. Locally, he has launched a public petition against the proposed closure of Bridlington's care unit, sought urgent meetings with NHS leadership, and publicly backed funding for a reinstated rail link between Bridlington, Driffield and York. Both the care unit campaign and the rail advocacy have drawn regional press coverage.

His parliamentary record is that of a reliable Conservative, voting with his party 100% of the time in division votes -- though his participation rate of 69% sits below the Commons average. His 200 contributions across 120 debates rank among the more active backbenchers, with economy, local government, defence, and agriculture dominating his speech topics. He sits on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, which aligns with his constituency's rural character and his visible work on farming and shooting-rights issues. He votes notably more often in favour of armed forces welfare than the typical Conservative MP, and is more sympathetic to assisted dying than most of his colleagues.

No rebel votes are on record. Beyond voting, the clearest picture of his priorities comes from his local campaigning -- healthcare, transport, and rural livelihoods -- and his high volume of written questions, reported at over 640 in his first year. News coverage over the past 90 days is broad but largely neutral in tone, spanning community, sport, crime, and environment topics.
