Harrow East

Dispatch
Apr 2026

A safe Con seat, won with 53% of the vote in 2024. Covers Harrow and Brent. Population 117,625, a majority-minority constituency. 6,990 businesses.

Blackman's most prominent recent controversy came in May 2025, when he shared social media posts celebrating Indian military strikes that killed civilians in Pakistan -- coverage that drew sharp criticism and raised questions about his conduct as a senior backbencher. He has also attracted attention for vocal advocacy on anti-Indian hate crime, publicly linking a US report on rising online discrimination to attacks on Hindus in his own Harrow East constituency. On tobacco policy, he has twice broken Conservative ranks to vote in favour of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill -- at Second and Third Reading -- backing the creation of a smokefree generation against his party's majority position.

A 99.2% party-line voter overall, those tobacco rebellions are genuinely exceptional. At 77% voting participation he sits modestly below the Commons average. His voting record shows strong alignment with pro-business and tough-on-crime positions, while he consistently opposes workers' rights measures and progressive taxation. Recently he has voted to retain multiple Lords amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and Pension Schemes Bill, opposing government attempts to overturn them -- a pattern reflected in a 100% alignment score on Lords scrutiny. His speeches span economy, defence, local government, and crime, with health also featuring notably.
