Erewash.

Erewash's MP made headlines in March when he secured a new health centre for the constituency as part of a £50m investment -- declaring he had been "determined Erewash should be at the front of the queue." That visible local advocacy is characteristic: Thompson has also raised adult education at PMQs, publicly backed council action on a surge in houses of multiple occupation, and chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on furniture, using his engineering and education background to push for an industry with significant local presence. His one rebel vote -- supporting a committee meeting in private when 73 colleagues voted to keep it public -- is the only departure from Labour's line in nearly 500 votes.

At 93% voting participation, Thompson sits above the Commons average. He is a 99.8% party-line voter, backing nationalisation of the steel industry, the King's Speech programme, and tighter asylum support rules without deviation. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, local government, education, crime, and health -- a portfolio that broadly mirrors his constituency's concerns. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation but notably low scores on parliamentary scrutiny and pro-business measures, consistent with a loyalist voting pattern.

Thompson sits on the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, which aligns with his engineering background. His deviations from the Labour average are modest but notable: he sits to the more cautious side on assisted dying safeguards and shows lower support than Labour peers for disability benefits. Local news over the past 90 days covers crime and the economy most heavily, with near-neutral sentiment across most issues. Voting and speech data are comprehensive; news sentiment is broad but thin on depth.
