The data provided here relates to Jo Platt, the current MP for Leigh, rather than James Grundy. Grundy held the Leigh seat from December 2019 but lost it at the 2024 general election. No voting, speech, or parliamentary activity data is available for him in this dataset, which reflects the current parliament.

The news coverage attributed to this brief -- visits to a Richmond House care home and objecting to the conversion of a historic Leigh pub into flats -- belongs to Jo Platt, who now represents the constituency. Platt lodged an objection to the pub conversion plans alongside residents, and the application was subsequently rejected by the planning committee. These are the most substantive recent constituency actions in the data, but they cannot be attributed to Grundy.

As Grundy is no longer serving as an MP, there is no voting record, speech activity, or committee membership to assess for the current parliament. Constituents in Leigh are now represented by Jo Platt (Labour), who won the seat in July 2024. Any assessment of current parliamentary representation in Leigh should focus on Platt rather than Grundy. The underlying data appears to have been mismatched to the MP name provided, and readers should treat this briefing as a flag of that data issue rather than a substantive account of either MP's record.
