Ben Goldsborough.

Twice voting against his party on assisted dying — at both Second and Third Reading — Goldsborough is one of the relatively small number of Labour MPs to have consistently opposed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Beyond that single clear break with the whip, he has been active on distinctly local and personal ground: raising skin cancer screening legislation at Prime Minister's Questions, securing a Westminster Hall debate on shotgun licensing rules affecting rural Norfolk, publishing a constituency report identifying ten road safety danger hotspots, and making a parliamentary case for stronger consumer protections for video game players.

Otherwise, Goldsborough votes with the Labour line almost without exception — 99.6% party alignment across 467 of 542 votes, a participation rate slightly above the Commons average. His stance profile shows strong backing for workers' rights and progressive taxation, and he supported railway nationalisation at Third Reading. He scores notably below his party average on disability benefits votes, though this reflects a small number of abstentions rather than active opposition. His speeches cluster around the economy, local government, crime, health, and agriculture — a spread that tracks the concerns of a mixed rural and market-town constituency.

South Norfolk was a Conservative seat until 2024, and Goldsborough's emphasis on rural issues — farming, road safety, shotgun laws — reads as a deliberate effort to hold that ground. Local news coverage over the past 90 days has been heavy, running to 53 articles across planning, housing, crime, and transport, with broadly neutral sentiment. He sits on the Petitions Committee. Voting data and speech records are available from July 2024; longer-term parliamentary patterns cannot yet be assessed.
