Labour Party MP in Liberal Democrats-controlled territory.

A steady, loyal Labour MP whose most distinctive parliamentary feature is his consistent support for assisted dying — he votes in favour at a rate 31 percentage points above the Labour average, and against restrictions at a rate 23 points below it. That is his clearest departure from the parliamentary pack. Otherwise, his recent votes have followed the government line faithfully: he backed the National Security (State Threats) Bill against amendments seeking stronger judicial oversight, and supported the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill in its government form. He has never voted against his party.

His participation rate of 85% sits comfortably above the Commons average, and his 346 contributions across 216 debates make him an active voice on the floor. Economy and jobs dominate his speeches, followed by local government, environment, and energy — a pattern that reflects both Cornwall's economic precarity and its reliance on natural resources. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but low scores on civil liberties (14%) and parliamentary scrutiny (13%), consistent with a MP who backs the government's security and oversight positions without reservation.

News coverage over the past 90 days runs to 67 articles but averages close to neutral in tone — volume without strong sentiment either way. The higher-impact stories show him championing Cornish heritage at Westminster, raising SEND and off-rolling issues in Camborne and Redruth with the Education Secretary, and flagging Royal Mail delays in Parliament. He sits on no select committees. His public health and consumer protection voting deviates modestly above the Labour average, though not enough to define a specialist niche.
