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

Liam Conlon broke from Labour five times on 20 June 2025 to oppose the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — voting against Third Reading, against two government-backed amendments, and for two restrictive safeguard clauses that the Labour majority rejected. His voting pattern on the bill places him among the most sceptical Labour MPs on assisted dying: his alignment with pro-assisted-dying-access positions sits at 11%, against a party average of 58%, while he scores 78% on pro-assisted-dying restrictions. Outside that cluster of rebel votes, he has voted with Labour in 97.4% of divisions.

His participation rate of 83% sits a few points below the Commons average, which typically runs around 87--88%. He votes consistently in favour of progressive taxation and workers' rights, and his stance profile suggests limited support for expanded civil liberties or parliamentary scrutiny — two areas where he scores below 25%. His 112 contributions across 83 debates since 2024 are spread across economy and jobs, social care, health, and local government. He holds no committee seat.

Local news coverage — built largely around the News Shopper — paints a picture of active constituency work: he has held coffee mornings drawing over 1,500 attendees, helped secure £1.6m for St Christopher's Hospice, and used his profile as a disabled MP to pursue corporate sponsorship for a constituent hoping to compete in parasport internationally. Recent 90-day coverage skews neutral, with crime dominating the issue count and housing generating the most positive sentiment. No significant controversy or negative news patterns appear in the available data.
