Broxbourne.

Broxbourne's MP drew significant criticism in 2025 for his public stance on immigration -- most notably after reports that he called for mass deportations, described refugees as coming from "barbaric cultures", and expressed support for a lighter sentence for someone convicted of inciting racial hatred. Left-wing outlets including Tribune Magazine and Stand Up to Racism ran strongly negative coverage, characterising his approach as deliberately divisive. He has also presented petitions to the Prime Minister calling for the closure of an asylum seeker hotel in Cheshunt, framing it as constituent representation; critics see it as scapegoating. These episodes are the most prominent things about his record right now.

Beyond immigration, Cocking is a reliable Conservative vote -- 99.8% party alignment -- though his participation at 79% sits somewhat below the Commons average. His single rebel vote backed a Gavin Williamson amendment to the Hereditary Peers Bill. He votes consistently against workers' rights legislation and progressive taxation, and strongly for pro-business positions and parliamentary scrutiny. His speeches cluster around local government, housing, and the economy, which aligns with his seat on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee. He is slightly more willing than the average Conservative to support public services funding, and fractionally less likely to back Lords override powers.

Cocking has been an MP since July 2024, representing a constituency that includes parts of outer north London and Hertfordshire. He raised banking hub access at PMQs in his first year -- flagged by the BBC in a one-year-in profile -- suggesting some active local casework.
