Swindon North.

Swindon North's MP has been most visible recently as a champion for the local defence and drone industries. Will Stone -- a former soldier -- is credited in local coverage with persuading companies to set up operations in Swindon and lobbying government for increased defence spending that would bring jobs to the area. He has also engaged with constituent-led campaigns, including backing a petition to improve hospital access for carers, and is working with a Swindon family to push for legislative change on motorist prosecution following the death of a local teenager.

Stone votes with the Labour Party on roughly 99.6% of divisions -- a high degree of party loyalty -- but his 90% participation rate is solid for a first-term backbencher. His two rebel votes in June 2025 both backed amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Report Stage, placing him firmly among assisted-dying supporters when his party was evenly split. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, low alignment with business-friendly positions, and consistent votes against Lords scrutiny. His 78 parliamentary contributions span economy and jobs, education, health, social care, and defence -- a broad portfolio that reflects both local concerns and his military background.

Stone sits on the Backbench Business Committee, which gives him some influence over which topics reach the Commons floor. Local news coverage over the past 90 days has been moderate in volume but mixed in sentiment, with housing and cultural issues generating little measurable traction for him personally. The voting and speech data are comprehensive; news sentiment analysis draws on 39 articles across 90 days, though several high-profile pieces focus primarily on other constituencies or MPs.
