Cheltenham.

Wilkinson's most striking recent move was breaking with the Liberal Democrat majority three times on 13 June 2025, voting for amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- including one that would have strengthened the advertising ban beyond the bill sponsor's own proposal. On assisted dying safeguards he votes 26 percentage points above his party's average, a consistent pattern that sets him apart from most Lib Dem colleagues. Beyond Parliament, he drew criticism in early 2026 after calling X a "massive problem" for hosting criticism of mass immigration, with right-leaning outlets framing his comments as an attack on free speech -- the sharpest negative coverage of his tenure so far. Earlier, he attracted positive attention by successfully championing the Future Homes Standard "Sunshine Bill" and calling publicly for Andrew Tate's extradition to the UK.

His participation rate of 69% sits below the Commons average, though he has made 333 contributions across 172 debates since 2024 -- a high speech-to-vote ratio suggesting he prioritises debate over division lobbies. He votes with the Lib Dems 99% of the time on whipped matters and scores 100% on parliamentary scrutiny votes, consistently backing the Lords' positions against the government on the Crime and Policing, Children's Wellbeing, and Pension Schemes Bills. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, local government, and crime. He sits well above his party's average on housing development and local democracy votes, consistent with his maiden speech focus on Cheltenham's built environment.

He serves on no select committees, limiting his formal scrutiny role to chamber contributions. His Home Office spokesperson brief likely explains his public comments on immigration and online platforms. News sentiment over the past 90 days averages a mildly positive 0.18 across 76 articles, with crime coverage the most favourable strand.
