Twickenham.
Liberal Democrats MP Munira Wilson holds the seat on 56.3% of the vote.
3 Jun 2026
Wilson made headlines in June 2025 by breaking with the Liberal Democrat majority on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- one of Parliament's most contested conscience votes. She voted against Third Reading, opposing the bill's passage to the Lords, and also voted against two amendments designed to prevent voluntary starvation being used to meet the terminal illness threshold. On the procedural side, she backed allowing New Clause 16 to be considered and supported a continuity provision for independent doctors -- suggesting a position that found the bill's safeguards insufficient rather than opposing assisted dying outright. Her deviation scores confirm this: she sits noticeably above her party on end-of-life autonomy and assisted dying safeguards, but below it on outright anti-assisted-dying stances. More recently she has voted in line with Lib Dem opposition to Labour's agenda, supporting the Privileges Committee referral of Keir Starmer and backing Lords amendments on the Pension Schemes Bill and English Devolution Bill.
At 69% voting participation she sits below the Commons average, though this is not unusual for Lib Dem MPs managing smaller staff resources. She votes with her party on 97% of divisions. Her stance profile shows consistent opposition to the employer National Insurance increase, strong support for Lords scrutiny and parliamentary oversight, and high alignment with climate and business-friendly votes. She diverges sharply from Labour on fiscal policy, workers' rights measures and housing development -- the last at just 8% alignment. Education and social care dominate her speech record, with 86 and 80 contributions respectively across 431 total.
Local coverage is high-volume but broadly neutral in sentiment, running across culture, crime and health stories. Positive coverage clusters around her mental health campaigning -- she has publicly pushed for mental health professionals in schools -- and a successful long-running campaign to enable below-market sales of public buildings for community use, credited with unlocking a development in her patch. She holds no committee seats. Voting data runs to May 2026; news sentiment covers the preceding 90 days.
