Gregory Campbell.

A steady DUP loyalist, Gregory Campbell has been most visible recently on the Windsor Framework — voting against regulations in July that applied EU machinery standards to Northern Ireland, arguing they widen the regulatory gap within the UK and impose EU rules without democratic consent from Northern Ireland. That vote is consistent with a pattern of opposition to what he and DUP colleagues call Northern Ireland's "democratic deficit." He also raised heating oil costs at Prime Minister's Questions in April, pressing the government directly on cost-of-living pressures facing East Londonderry constituents amid local fuel protests.

Campbell votes with the DUP 100% of the time — no rebel votes on record. His participation rate of 55% sits below the Commons average. Voting patterns show strong alignment with parliamentary scrutiny (90%), toughness on crime (93%), and business interests (85%), while he votes against workers' rights measures and progressive taxation almost uniformly. He opposed extensions to employment tribunal time limits in July and the steel tariff regulations in June on grounds of business impact. His 294 speech contributions span economy and jobs, local government, defence, and social care — a broad spread rather than a narrow specialism.

Within the DUP, Campbell registers slightly higher than his party average on public health (+19 percentage points) and parliamentary accountability (+14pp), and lower on local democracy (-13pp), which sits in mild tension with his stated opposition to planning delegation on democratic accountability grounds. He sits on no select committees. News coverage over the past 90 days is limited — four articles, broadly neutral to positive, though one piece criticised him for remarks about the Republic of Ireland honouring a historical figure. Longer-term voting data would sharpen the picture on his public health stance.
