Coatbridge and Bellshill.
Labour Party MP Frank McNally holds the seat on 49.8% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
McNally's most distinctive parliamentary moment came on 20 June 2025, when he broke with the Labour majority five times on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- all five deviations centred on safeguards around voluntary stopping of eating and drinking and procedural amendments. His stance on end-of-life issues sits 22 percentage points above his party's average, making assisted dying the clearest ideological signal in his voting record. Beyond that cluster, he votes with Labour on roughly 97% of divisions -- a reliable party-line record on everything from the King's Speech to pension reform to opposing the referral of Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee.
At 81% participation he votes slightly below the Commons average, though not markedly so. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, near-zero alignment with pro-business positions, and notably low scores on parliamentary scrutiny and Lords oversight -- consistent with a government loyalist. His speeches, spread across 70 contributions in 52 debates, cluster around economy and jobs, defence, health, and cost of living. He sits on no select committees.
Outside the chamber, McNally has been active in North Lanarkshire: championing local suicide prevention work, hosting a jobs fair, campaigning against the closure of a Bellshill Bank of Scotland branch, and welcoming a government-backed AI growth zone announcement. Local coverage has been consistently positive in tone. No news sentiment data covers the most recent 90 days, so his current local standing cannot be assessed from available figures.
