Livingston.

A steady, loyal MP whose most visible work has been constituency-focused rather than rebellious. Gregor Poynton has not voted against Labour once in his parliamentary career, making him one of the party's most disciplined MPs -- a 100% party-line record across 461 votes. At Westminster, his recent votes have backed tighter asylum support rules, resisted Lords amendments to the Pension Schemes Bill, and opposed the opposition's attempt to refer the Prime Minister to the Privileges Committee. None of these positions broke from Labour's line.

His participation rate of 90% sits above the Commons average, and his speeches cluster around economy and jobs, defence, fiscal policy, and social care -- a broad portfolio rather than a narrow specialism. He deviates from his party most notably on Lords oversight: he votes to override the Lords more readily than most Labour MPs, running 20 percentage points above the party average on that measure. He is also marginally less supportive than the Labour average on assisted dying safeguards and disability benefits -- though neither gap is large enough to mark him out as a dissenter on those issues.

Local news coverage paints a picture of active constituency work: pressing the Health Secretary over East Calder Health Centre funding, raising Uphall Post Office closure with a minister, meeting residents affected by crumbling RAAC concrete, and launching a paid internship in honour of his predecessor Robin Cook. Coverage over the past 90 days is broadly neutral in tone across nearly 100 articles. He holds no select committee seat. No rebel votes or significant controversies appear in the available data.
