Andrew Snowden.

Snowden's most notable break from his party came on assisted dying: he voted to advance the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Second Reading in November 2024, placing him among the minority of Conservative MPs who backed the bill. He also backed a rebel amendment that would have stripped Church of England bishops from the Lords — a sharper-edged move that the government and Liberal Democrats both opposed. Beyond those two breaks, he has voted with the Conservative majority on virtually every other division, including opposing the Immigration and Asylum Bill, resisting the rollback of the academy presumption, and pushing back on planning delegation regulations. Pre-election coverage from The Times and The Independent raised serious allegations that he demanded campaign donations to pay "bad people," though those stories predate his election to Westminster.

At 72% voting participation — modestly below the Commons average — Snowden is an active but not exceptional attender. His 201 contributions across 137 debates show genuine parliamentary engagement, concentrated on the economy and jobs, defence, and local government. He scores 96% on pro-business stances and 100% against tax increases, and is 32 percentage points more likely than the average Conservative MP to back restrictions on assisted dying — despite his Second Reading vote suggesting personal support for reform. He is also notably below his party average on energy security votes.

His most consistent advocacy outside the chamber centres on BAE Systems Warton in his constituency: he has pressed ministers publicly to order Typhoon jets domestically, making a straightforward jobs-and-defence case. His speech record reflects this, with defence his second-highest topic after the economy. No committee memberships are recorded. The pre-election allegations remain unresolved in the public record; no subsequent formal findings are available in the data here.
