Ellesmere Port and Bromborough.

Madders broke with his party five times on 20 June 2025, all on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Most significantly, he voted against Third Reading -- the final Commons vote to pass the assisted dying legislation -- placing him among the minority of Labour MPs who opposed the bill at its last hurdle. He also voted against an amendment that would have barred people from qualifying as terminally ill solely because they had voluntarily stopped eating and drinking, and for a rival amendment with similar intent, suggesting he backed a stricter version of that safeguard. His voting pattern on the bill shows he wanted tighter protections than the majority accepted.

Beyond the assisted dying votes, Madders is a 97.6% party-line voter who participates at 87% -- slightly above the Commons average. Economy and jobs dominate his speech activity (93 contributions), followed by labour-market issues (61), which aligns with his role on the Business and Trade Committee. He sits further from his party on local government powers (voting with Labour's position 100% of the time versus the party average of 74%) and noticeably below it on civil liberties questions. His stance profile flags strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, and low alignment with pro-business and parliamentary scrutiny positions.

Local news coverage over the past 90 days runs to 41 articles, with crime coverage (14 articles) averaging a neutral score, while economy and health stories trend modestly positive -- reflecting his public championing of a £1bn electric van package for Ellesmere Port's manufacturing sector and pressure on NHS transport failures for vulnerable patients. His constituency work on jobs and local investment appears to be the dominant frame of his public profile. Voting data is comprehensive; full debate transcripts underlying some procedural votes are limited.
