Glasgow North.

Deviating from Labour's line five times in a single day, all on the assisted dying bill, marks Rhodes as more willing than most of his intake to exercise independent judgment on conscience votes. On 20 June 2025, he backed amendments that would have closed a loophole allowing voluntary starvation to qualify someone as terminally ill -- votes his party majority rejected -- and diverged from Labour on two further procedural and substantive divisions on the same bill. His voting record puts him 22 percentage points above his party's average on end-of-life autonomy questions. More recently, he raised the Union Street fire in Glasgow North directly at PMQs, a question that appeared to help unlock UK government interest in funding options for local residents.

At 84% participation Rhodes sits broadly in line with the Commons average for a first-term MP. Outside the assisted dying votes, he is a reliable party-line voter -- 98.2% alignment overall -- strongly backing workers' rights and progressive taxation, consistently opposing Lords scrutiny, and rarely siding with business-friendly or criminal-justice-hardening positions. His 119 speech contributions span 75 debates, with the economy, social care, cost of living, and local government dominating. He sits on the Environmental Audit Committee, though climate action scores only 51% alignment, suggesting his committee work does not straightforwardly translate into green-policy votes.

The news picture requires some care: the highest-impact coverage in his constituency's recent record concerns Patrick Grady, his SNP predecessor, whose sexual misconduct case ran from 2022 through early 2025 and is not connected to Rhodes himself. Rhodes's own coverage is modest -- a community charity walk launch, the Union Street fire question -- with no negative personal stories. Data on his full voting record is available from July 2024; speech content detail thins out beyond the topic-level summaries above.
