Wokingham.

A steady constituency performer who has followed his party line without a single rebel vote, Clive Jones nonetheless cast two notable ballots this week: he backed referring Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, and opposed new regulations allowing the withdrawal of asylum support from those found working illegally. On pensions, he consistently voted against the government's reserve power to direct pension fund investments -- a position shared with Liberal Democrat colleagues and the House of Lords -- and backed Lords amendments to the English Devolution Bill that the Commons ultimately rejected.

Jones votes with the Liberal Democrats on every recorded division, making him a 100% party-line MP. His participation rate of 70% (359 of 515 votes) sits below the Commons average. His strongest consistent stances -- 100% alignment with pro-Lords scrutiny positions and 95% on parliamentary scrutiny -- point to a recurring emphasis on checks and balances over executive power. His 331 contributions across 239 debates skew heavily toward economy and jobs, local government, health, and social care. He sits on the Finance Committee, which helps explain the economic focus.

Local news coverage -- 63 articles over 90 days -- shows active constituency engagement: pushing for VAT cuts on heating oil, calling for Thames Water to be placed into Special Administration over sewage discharges on the Emm Brook, pressing the care minister on funding, and championing cancer care and SEND provision. His news scores are broadly neutral to mildly positive. One notable data gap: deviations from his party average on local government powers (-25 percentage points) and housing development (-9 points) suggest quiet divergence on planning and devolution, but without rebel votes on record, the picture is incomplete.
