Glasgow East.

Four of John Grady's five rebel votes came on the same day -- 20 June 2025 -- when he broke with the Labour majority multiple times during the Report Stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. He backed amendments to close a loophole around voluntary stopping of eating and drinking, supported allowing a replacement doctor to complete an assessment if the original became unavailable, and voted to allow New Clause 16 to be formally considered. Those votes put him 20-22 percentage points above his party's average on end-of-life autonomy and assisted-dying safeguards -- a clear and consistent signal of where he stands. His local profile carries some controversy: a fact-check by The National in December 2024 found he had used incompatible NHS datasets at PMQs to attack the SNP's record on Scottish health, which drew significant criticism.

Grady votes with Labour 96.5% of the time and participates in 83% of divisions -- broadly in line with the Commons average. His strongest alignments are with progressive taxation (96%), housing development (93%), and workers' rights (88%). He scores low on parliamentary scrutiny (8%), Lords scrutiny (0%), and pro-business stances (12%), suggesting he largely defers to executive authority rather than pushing for additional checks. His 161 contributions across 83 debates are led by economy and jobs, defence, fiscal policy, and cost-of-living -- consistent with his seat on the Treasury Committee, where economic detail is the core business.

Glasgow East is a constituency with significant deprivation, which helps explain Grady's focus on cost-of-living and social care in his speeches. His local campaign work -- including a petition to save a Glasgow bus route in June 2025 -- suggests active constituency engagement alongside his parliamentary duties. News coverage over the past 90 days is broadly neutral (average score 0.02 across 30 articles), with crime and health generating the most stories. Some high-impact news items in the dataset relate to his predecessor David Linden rather than Grady himself, which limits how much the historical coverage can be attributed to him directly.
