Gordon.
Scottish National Party MP Richard Thomson holds the seat.
1 Jun 2026
There is, at present, almost nothing to report. Richard Thomson, SNP MP for Gordon since 2019, has cast no recorded votes in the current period, made no speeches in the available data, and sits on no select committees. That is not necessarily a dereliction -- SNP MPs routinely abstain from votes on England-only matters as a matter of party policy, and the zero participation figure likely reflects that convention rather than personal disengagement. Even so, the absence of any speech activity is harder to explain away.
The pattern holds across every metric available. There are no rebel votes, no notable parliamentary interventions, and no deviations from SNP norms -- which, given there is no voting record to examine, amounts to a clean but empty slate. Beyond Westminster, four local news articles were captured over the past 90 days covering rural research, heritage gardens, a community tribute and Scottish devolution politics; none mentioned Thomson. That level of local media presence is low.
Gordon is a rural, largely agricultural constituency in northeast Scotland -- issues around farming, rural infrastructure and North Sea energy policy would be natural territory for its MP. Whether Thomson is active on those fronts through means not captured here -- constituency casework, party channels, or committee work outside this dataset -- cannot be determined from the data available. What is clear is that the public parliamentary footprint for this MP, in the period covered, is minimal.
