Labour Party MP in Conservative and Unionist Party-controlled territory.

Anderson's most distinctive parliamentary moments have come on assisted dying. He backed two amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — one that would have blocked applications driven by fear of being a burden or by financial pressure, another on devolution protections — both against his party's majority. Those two rebel votes are his only departures from the Labour line in over 530 votes, making him a 99.6% party-line MP who has nevertheless staked out a cautiously pro-safeguard position on end-of-life legislation. His stance data bears this out: he sits slightly more aligned with assisted dying access than his party average, but also slightly more supportive of tighter safeguards — suggesting he backs the principle while pushing for stronger protections.

At 95% voting participation, Anderson is engaged above the Commons average. His speeches cluster heavily around economy and jobs (48 contributions), cost of living, and defence, with a secondary focus on local government and environment. His stance profile shows strong alignment on progressive taxation and workers' rights, and solid support for climate action — he voted for the carbon budget and for bringing aviation and shipping into the UK's statutory climate framework. He deviates from party colleagues most notably on public health (slightly above average) and welfare reform (fully aligned where his party is not unanimous).

Outside the chamber, Anderson has been an active local campaigner: he launched a petition and secured an adjournment debate on a new eastern entrance for Bletchley train station, chairs the Bletchley Investment Taskforce, and is credited in local coverage with influencing a major transport funding announcement. News volume is high — 75 articles in 90 days — though average sentiment is neutral, indicating steady coverage rather than controversy. He holds no select committee seat.
