High Peak.

A steady loyalist with active local roots, Jon Pearce has voted with Labour on every division since entering Parliament in 2024 -- a clean 100% party-line record across 417 votes. His most recent votes back government positions on tightening asylum support rules, restoring ministerial reserve powers over pension fund investment, and carrying over the Northern Ireland Troubles legacy legislation. None of these represent departures from Labour's position, and he has no rebel votes on record.

His 81% voting participation sits a few points below the Commons average, though his 130 contributions across 85 debates suggest he is more active in chamber discussions than his attendance figures alone imply. He speaks most frequently on economy and jobs, defence, and community issues -- and his stance profile confirms strong alignment with workers' rights (88%) and progressive taxation (96%), while he votes with the government against Lords scrutiny and tighter parliamentary oversight almost without exception. Compared to his Labour colleagues, he votes slightly less often in favour of disability benefits protection and end-of-life autonomy measures, and somewhat more often in favour of NHS funding and local democracy.

Outside Westminster, Pearce has attracted consistently positive local coverage: he organised High Peak's third annual jobs fair -- drawing over 50 employers -- raised the case of mothers with cancer facing maternity leave difficulties directly with ministers, backed Buxton's Town of Culture bid, and secured £28.6 million for a carbon capture project tied to the local cement industry. No committee roles are currently listed. Speech data runs to March 2026 and voting data to late April 2026, so this picture reflects a two-year parliament record rather than a longer trend.
