Stirling and Strathallan.

A low-profile loyalist who has made a real mark on one issue: Chris Kane secured Prime Minister backing in early 2025 after raising illegal handgun advertising at PMQs -- a campaign that began with constituent feedback, escalated to Google directly, then to the policing minister, and ended with government commitment to tighter online safety enforcement. He has also pushed back publicly against SNP cuts to Forth Valley College, welcoming Westminster intervention in December 2025, and written in support of protecting Scotland's ice rinks and the National Curling Academy.

Kane votes with Labour 100% of the time -- a perfect party-line record across nearly 400 votes -- and participates at 77%, slightly below the Commons average. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, consistent opposition to Lords scrutiny, and notably low scores on parliamentary scrutiny measures. He deviates from the Labour average on a handful of issues: he votes more favourably on welfare reform and consumer protection than most colleagues, but less so on armed forces welfare (-29 percentage points below the party average) and pension protection (-26 points). Speech activity clusters around economy and jobs, local government, and social care.

Kane sits on the Public Accounts Committee, which scrutinises government spending -- a role consistent with his fiscal-responsibility voting pattern. The Scotland-specific dimension of his seat matters: representing a constituency that previously returned an SNP MP, much of his visible work involves criticising Holyrood spending decisions while defending UK Government policy. News coverage over the past 90 days is too thin to characterise a sentiment trend, though earlier coverage was predominantly positive, driven by the gun advertising campaign.
