Created in the 2023 boundary review, replacing Hammersmith.

Dispatch
Apr 2026

A new constituency created in the 2023 boundary review. Won by Lab in its first election in 2024. Covers Hammersmith and Fulham and Hounslow. Population 113,885, notably young (median age 36 vs 41 nationally), highly educated (58% degree-holders). Recorded crime is 100% above the national average. Median income £40K (above average), 8,645 businesses.

One of the more active members of the 2005 intake, Andy Slaughter has spent recent months in a recognisably partisan groove -- voting with Labour on every recorded division, including a string of April 2026 votes backing the government's position in Lords ping-pong on both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill. Most notably on the latter, he supported the government retaining powers to direct pension fund investments, a provision critics labelled a "power grab" over trustees' duties. There are no rebel votes on record.

At 93% participation -- above the Commons average -- Slaughter is a consistent parliamentary presence. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights (90%) and progressive taxation (97%), but he votes well below the Labour average on pro-business measures (15%) and shows little appetite for Lords or parliamentary scrutiny (0% and 8% respectively). The most notable divergences from his Labour colleagues are on assisted dying: he sits roughly 8--14 percentage points more sceptical than the party average across multiple related categories. His 222 speech contributions span crime (93 debates), defence, social care, and the economy -- a broad spread, though crime dominates.
