East Londonderry.
Democratic Unionist Party MP Gregory Campbell holds the seat on 27.9% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
A hundred-per-cent party-line voter who has nonetheless been active on several fronts recently, Gregory Campbell voted to refer Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment and opposed the government on the Pension Schemes Bill's reserve investment powers -- both consistent with DUP opposition to the current Labour administration. He also voted against carrying over the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill, reflecting longstanding unionist objections to its immunity provisions. On asylum, he opposed new regulations that would withdraw support from asylum seekers found working illegally, a position at odds with his generally tough-on-crime and low-welfare-spending record. His most visible recent media moment came at Prime Minister's Questions in April, where he pressed Starmer on heating oil costs amid fuel protests in East Londonderry.
Campbell's participation rate of 54% sits below the Commons average, though Northern Ireland MPs' travel distances and Stormont's separate legislative sphere make direct comparisons with mainland MPs imperfect. He votes in line with DUP positions on every recorded division -- a 100% alignment -- but deviates from his party's average on welfare protection and public health, where he votes more generously than most DUP colleagues. His 256 contributions across 201 debates show a busy speaking record, with economy and jobs, defence, social care and local government dominating his subject matter.
No committee roles are listed for Campbell in the current data. News coverage over the past 90 days has been mildly positive overall, driven mainly by cost-of-living and crime issues, with one negative story criticising comments he made about the Republic of Ireland honouring John Dunlap. The data covers recent months only; longer-term voting trends and any committee work outside this window are not captured here.
