Bury South.

Wakeford votes with Labour on every recorded division -- a 100% party-line record across 498 votes -- making him one of the most loyally aligned MPs in the Commons. His most recent votes backed steel nationalisation, supported the King's Speech legislative programme, and approved tighter asylum support rules allowing the government to withdraw housing and financial assistance from failed asylum seekers working illegally. There are no rebel votes to report.

His 96% voting participation rate sits well above the Commons average, but his speech activity tells a different story: just two contributions across two debates since the start of this Parliament, with his last recorded speech in April 2026 touching on health, education, and social care. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, weaker alignment with parliamentary scrutiny measures and welfare expansion. One notable deviation from his Labour colleagues: he leans more sceptical on assisted dying than the party average, registering against end-of-life autonomy measures at a higher rate.

The context shaping his current term is his 2022 defection from the Conservatives -- he won Bury South as a Tory in 2019, crossed the floor to Labour mid-Parliament, then held the seat for Labour in 2024. His co-chair role at the Parliamentary Group on British Jews dates to 2020 and reflects a long-standing community interest. Local coverage over the past 90 days runs largely neutral across 64 articles, spanning crime, housing, and community issues; he has been publicly active on women's safety in parks. Committee memberships include the Armed Forces Bill select committee. Speech data for this Parliament is limited.
