Gloucester.
Labour Party MP Alex McIntyre holds the seat on 36.0% of the vote.
3 Jun 2026
McIntyre's most significant parliamentary moves have come on assisted dying. He voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading in June 2025, after backing amendments to tighten its safeguards -- including one to prevent patients who stop eating and drinking from qualifying as terminally ill. That combination marks him as a sceptic of the bill as drafted rather than a blanket opponent of the principle. Beyond that, his rebel votes are minor: he acted as teller for a motion to sit in private that attracted just one supporter, which appears procedural rather than principled dissent.
He is a broadly loyal Labour MP -- voting with the party 97.6% of the time -- with an 81% participation rate, slightly below the Commons average. His voting record shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but he diverges sharply from party norms on assisted dying safeguards (+53 percentage points above the Labour average) and end-of-life autonomy (-45 points). His speeches concentrate on economy and jobs, crime, social care, and health -- a pattern consistent with his seat on the Health and Social Care Committee.
Local coverage gives useful texture. He introduced a private member's bill on paid leave for domestic abuse victims, campaigned publicly on post office closures in Gloucester city centre, and used a personal diabetes diagnosis to promote NHS remission programmes -- raising his profile on public health in a city where around 34,000 residents live with the condition. A £20m funding announcement for two Gloucester suburbs in early 2026 was credited to his lobbying. News sentiment over the past 90 days is broadly neutral across 137 articles, with economy and jobs coverage carrying the most positive tone.
