Bury North.

Frith's most distinctive recent behaviour came on 20 June 2025, when he broke with Labour five times on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. His rebellions centred on a specific concern: closing the loophole that might allow someone to qualify as terminally ill solely by voluntarily stopping eating and drinking. He voted both for and against amendments on this point as procedural variants arose, suggesting a considered position rather than a casual protest. That cluster of five rebel votes accounts for virtually all his dissent in this parliament -- outside them, he votes with Labour 97.8% of the time.

His participation rate of 80% sits below the Commons average, and he has no committee seat. Speech activity is high -- 108 contributions across 60 debates -- with the economy and jobs the dominant topic, followed by social care, culture, and health. His stance data flags a notable gap: on NHS funding votes he registers 0% alignment against a Labour average of 41%, a gap of 41 percentage points. He sits above his party on local government powers and scores above Labour's average on end-of-life autonomy, consistent with his assisted dying votes. He is a firm opponent of Lords scrutiny powers and parliamentary oversight motions, reflecting standard Labour loyalty on constitutional questions.

Local news coverage over the past 90 days is broadly neutral across around 80 articles, with crime the largest issue category followed by culture and community. High-impact coverage in the dataset relates to his predecessor James Daly's "crap parents" controversy in 2023, not to Frith himself -- a reminder that local news sentiment here reflects the constituency more than the MP. No committee work is on record, and the data covers only his time since July 2024.
