Bromley and Biggin Hill.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP Peter Fortune holds the seat on 34.0% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Fortune has broken with his Conservative colleagues twice on the same issue: the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. He voted for it at both Second Reading in November 2024 and Third Reading in March 2025, each time against the Conservative majority. That consistency suggests conviction rather than accident. Beyond tobacco, his recent voting fits the standard Conservative opposition pattern -- backing moves to refer Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, supporting opposition amendments to the King's Speech, and opposing the government's power to direct pension fund investments.
At 73% voting participation, Fortune falls somewhat below the Commons average. His 99.5% party-line rate makes him a reliable Conservative vote in almost every other area -- firmly against worker rights legislation, business taxes, and the employer National Insurance increase. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs (his most active topic), local government, and fiscal policy. He sits slightly more against assisted dying than his Conservative peers, and slightly less aligned with civil liberties positions, though both deviations are modest.
News coverage gives a picture of active local casework: he has campaigned against the closure of Bromley's 24-hour police station front counter, championed the Bombardier investment at Biggin Hill Airport, raised parking and disabled access problems near a local station, and engaged with schools during Parliament Week. He holds no select committee seat. Data on speeches and votes is comprehensive from July 2024; the news sentiment score over the past 90 days is close to neutral, reflecting largely factual local coverage rather than controversy.
