Farnham and Bordon.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP Gregory Stafford holds the seat on 35.8% of the vote — a split-council geography across 2 councils.
1 Jun 2026
Elected in July 2024, Gregory Stafford has voted in lockstep with the Conservative party on every recorded division -- a 100% party alignment across 400 votes -- but has been active beyond the chamber. He served as a teller for the opposition in the April 2026 vote to refer Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, a procedural role that placed him at the centre of one of the session's sharpest accountability clashes. In local media, he has pushed publicly against Labour's digital ID proposals, campaigned for a Farnham banking hub, and argued against new VAT charges on church buildings -- a consistent pattern of translating Westminster opposition into constituency-level advocacy.
His voting record reflects orthodox Conservative priorities: strongly pro-business, tough on crime, sceptical of tax increases and workers' rights legislation. He voted to block the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill and opposed the government's King's Speech programme. One notable deviation from his party is on pension protection, where he sits 39 points below the Conservative average -- he opposed the government's reserve power to direct pension fund investments, but also diverged from most colleagues by not backing the pension protection position his party typically holds. His participation rate of 77% sits a little below the Commons average.
Stafford's 567 contributions span economy, health, social care and local government -- topics that align directly with his seat on the Health and Social Care Committee, the most significant formal role shaping his parliamentary work. A December 2025 story, in which he performed CPR on a constituent outside a pub, generated the highest-impact coverage of his tenure. News sentiment over the past 90 days is broadly neutral across 50 articles, with transport and immigration coverage slightly more positive in tone.
