Milton Keynes North.
Labour Party MP Chris Curtis holds the seat on 42.0% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
A steady Labour loyalist who uses his platform most visibly as a constituency advocate, Chris Curtis has voted with his party on every recorded division -- 100% alignment, no rebel votes. In parliament, his most notable recent moment came in April 2026, when he backed the government's position against referring Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee, which the opposition framed as shielding the Prime Minister from scrutiny. Beyond that, he has voted consistently to advance Labour's legislative programme through Lords ping-pong on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, the English Devolution Bill, and the Pension Schemes Bill.
His participation rate of 83% sits a little below the Commons average. Speeches -- 91 contributions across 46 debates -- cluster around the economy, local government, housing, and fiscal policy, which aligns with his seat on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee. His stance profile flags some notable distances from the Labour centre: he votes far less favourably on immigration control than the average Labour MP (17% vs 43%), leans more strongly toward assisted dying access, and scores 100% on consumer protection votes, well above the party average of 79%.
Outside the chamber, local coverage has been broadly positive. He ran the London Marathon for Willen Hospice, wrote to the Health Secretary over its funding, and a viral clip of him grilling FirstPort's managing director over poor service to leaseholders drew attention in mid-2025 -- consistent with his housing committee role and a high pro-housing-development score of 93%. Transport has dominated his local press coverage in the past 90 days. Voting data runs to April 2026; speech data to March 2026.
