David Pinto-Duschinsky.

Pinto-Duschinsky's most distinctive recent actions have been on assisted dying, where he broke with Labour four times in June 2025 to back tighter safeguards — voting for amendments that would have excluded people whose wish to die was substantially driven by not wanting to be a burden, financial pressures, or disability unrelated to terminal illness. He also opposed an amendment requiring assessment of palliative care provision in annual reports. His position sits well to the cautious side of his party: voting data shows him aligned with assisted dying restrictions 67% of the time, against a Labour average of 45%. He has also drawn attention locally for his responses to antisemitism in Hendon — publicly condemning pro-Palestine marches through the area and a synagogue arson attack as "utterly appalling", and liaising directly with police and the Community Security Trust.

At Westminster, he is an active contributor — 116 contributions across 80 debates — and an 80% voting participation rate is broadly in line with the Commons average. He speaks most frequently on economic and fiscal policy, with defence, crime, social care, and cost-of-living also featuring prominently. Outside assisted dying, he is a 97.8% party-line voter: backing the Immigration and Asylum Bill at second reading, planning delegation reforms, and progressive taxation measures, while consistently opposing Lords and parliamentary scrutiny amendments.

One news article from March 2026 criticised him for social media posts dismissing progressive economic ideas, describing his stance as defending a "neoliberal status quo" — a charge that sits in tension with his strong workers' rights and progressive taxation voting record. He sits on the Statutory Instruments Select Committee. Full speech transcripts are available; local news coverage over the past 90 days has centred predominantly on crime and community issues in Hendon.
