North Ayrshire and Arran.
Labour Party MP Irene Campbell holds the seat on 39.8% of the vote.
2 Jun 2026
Campbell has broken with her party over welfare cuts more than almost any other issue. She voted against the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill at both second and third reading, backed an amendment protecting disabled people with fluctuating conditions, and supported the opposition's procedural attempt to block the bill entirely -- four rebel votes on a single piece of legislation that put her firmly in the camp of Labour MPs who refused to back the government's disability benefit reforms. She also voted against new regulations expanding the Public Order Act to restrict infrastructure protests, placing her 21 percentage points above her party average on civil liberties.
At 78% voting participation -- slightly below the Commons average -- Campbell is nonetheless an active parliamentary voice. She has made 140 contributions across 56 debates, with health, social care, economy and jobs, and the environment dominating her speech topics. She votes with Labour 98.8% of the time outside her welfare rebellions, and her stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, but notable scepticism toward business-friendly and tough-on-crime positions. Her deviation from party average on disability benefits (+55 percentage points) is the sharpest gap in her profile.
Beyond Westminster, local news coverage is broadly positive. Campbell has lobbied ministers to locate a new munitions factory in Beith or Ardeer, flagged sepsis awareness and smartphone safety in Parliament, and by her first anniversary in post had handled over 5,500 constituent cases. She sits on the Finance and Petitions committees. Data covers her tenure from July 2024; the welfare rebellions are the clearest signal of where her priorities diverge from the government's.
