Hendon.
Labour Party MP David Pinto-Duschinsky holds the seat on 38.4% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Pinto-Duschinsky has been most visibly active on two fronts: antisemitism in his north London constituency, and the assisted dying bill. When pro-Palestine protesters marched through a Jewish neighbourhood in Hendon in April 2026, he publicly condemned it as "utterly appalling" and "clearly antisemitic," liaising directly with police and the Community Security Trust. He has also broken with most Labour MPs on several assisted dying amendments, voting consistently to tighten safeguards -- notably to close a potential loophole that might allow voluntary self-starvation to qualify as terminal illness, and to ensure continuity of independent medical assessment if a doctor becomes incapacitated.
His wider parliamentary record is that of a loyal but active backbencher. At 82% voting participation -- broadly in line with Commons averages -- he votes with Labour around 97% of the time, supporting progressive taxation, workers' rights, and Lords reform while consistently opposing greater Lords scrutiny of government legislation. His speeches skew heavily toward economic policy: economy, fiscal policy, and labour market issues account for roughly two-thirds of his 115 contributions. His stance profile shows notably low alignment with pro-business and parliamentary scrutiny positions, and he deviates from his party average on end-of-life autonomy by around 22 percentage points.
The news picture adds useful colour: he has attracted criticism from at least one outlet for social media posts dismissed as misleading on economic policy, but the bulk of recent coverage -- dominated by crime and community issues -- has been broadly positive. His background in international development (he spent years at the Open Society Foundations) likely informs his economic commentary, though it is not yet a defining feature of his parliamentary profile. Data is available from July 2024 onwards.
