Alex McIntyre.

McIntyre's most significant break from his party came on assisted dying. In June 2025, he voted against the bill at Third Reading — when Labour's majority backed it — and supported two tightening amendments, including one to stop people qualifying as terminally ill solely by choosing to stop eating and drinking. His stance on the issue is the sharpest deviation from his parliamentary party: he aligned 100% with assisted dying safeguards while Labour MPs averaged 47%, and voted 0% on end-of-life autonomy measures where they averaged 45%. Otherwise, he is a 97.7% party-line voter who backed railway nationalisation and steel industry legislation in line with government positions.

He participates in 81% of votes — broadly in line with the Commons average — and has spoken across 102 debates, with economy, crime, social care, and the labour market dominating his contributions. His stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, near-zero alignment with pro-business and parliamentary scrutiny positions, and consistently opposing Lords powers. His Health and Social Care Committee membership shapes a recurring focus on health in his speeches.

Away from Westminster, McIntyre attracted positive coverage for a private member's bill proposing paid leave for domestic abuse victims, a campaign to retain post office services in Gloucester city centre, and securing £20m in regeneration funding for two local suburbs. He also went public about losing seven stone on an NHS liquid diet after a diabetes diagnosis, using the story to promote local health programmes — a disclosure that attracted national coverage. Local news volume over the past 90 days is high (136 articles), though average sentiment scores are near neutral, suggesting solid but uncontroversial local coverage.
