Liberal Democrats MP for Didcot and Wantage.

Transport is Olly Glover's defining parliamentary issue. Appointed the Liberal Democrats' transport spokesperson in October 2025, he has used the role to push a Rail Passengers' Charter, argue for new stations and electrification in his area, and tell ministers that working toilets on trains are "not a luxury." When the Railways Bill came to its third reading in June 2026, he voted against it — opposing what the Lib Dems described as an over-concentration of power in Great British Railways and risks to open-access operators. He also sits on the Transport Committee, giving him a formal platform alongside his spokesperson brief.
Glover's parliamentary record is steady but not dominant. He has voted in 67% of divisions — below the Commons average — and has never broken from the Lib Dem line. His stance profile marks him as consistently pro-business, pro-climate action, and strongly opposed to the employer National Insurance rise. He votes with his party against government fiscal and workers'-rights measures, as expected of a Liberal Democrat. His speeches span economy and jobs, local government, environment, and social care alongside the transport focus, suggesting broad constituency casework rather than narrow specialism.
Context worth noting: Glover was elected in July 2024 and his 100% party alignment reflects a new MP still establishing himself. His deviation data shows he has voted more consistently on civil liberties than the average Lib Dem, and less often on pension-protection measures — though the sample sizes are small. News coverage over the past 90 days is high in volume but largely neutral in tone, spread across crime, economic, and community stories. His most positive press has come directly from his transport work.
Olly Glover is the Liberal Democrat MP for Didcot and Wantage, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024. He currently undertakes the role of Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Transport).
