Mid and South Pembrokeshire.
Labour Party MP Henry Tufnell holds the seat on 35.4% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
At 99.8% party alignment, Henry Tufnell is one of Labour's most loyal MPs -- but he broke ranks in December 2024 to vote against a Ten Minute Rule Motion that would have introduced proportional representation, siding with those defending the first-past-the-post system against his own party's majority. Beyond that single rebel vote, his most visible recent work has been constituency-focused: he spent over a year lobbying banks, regulators, and government to secure a banking hub for a town left without financial services after branch closures, and he raised Pembrokeshire's offshore wind prospects -- specifically the FLOW project -- directly at Prime Ministers' Questions, winning government recognition of the area as a priority growth area.
His 87% voting participation sits broadly in line with the Commons average. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but low scores on parliamentary scrutiny and Lords oversight -- consistent with a government loyalist who has consistently backed ministers overriding Lords amendments, including on the Pension Schemes Bill. He deviates from his party average most notably on armed forces welfare (30 points above the Labour norm) and consumer protection. His 46 contributions across 32 debates have concentrated heavily on economy and jobs, energy, and the environment.
Tufnell sits on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and the Welsh Affairs Committee, which helps explain his consistent focus on water quality -- he chaired a public meeting on the River Cleddau attended by over 150 people. His position on energy is nuanced: local news shows him simultaneously championing offshore wind investment and calling for the scrapping of the North Sea drilling ban, the latter drawing criticism. News sentiment over the past 90 days is broadly neutral across 132 articles.
