Saqib Bhatti.

Bhatti has been active on national security legislation this week, voting with Conservative colleagues on several amendments to the National Security (State Threats) Bill — supporting judicial oversight provisions and opposing the government's move to limit debate time on a bill with significant civil liberties implications. He also voted against draft regulations doubling fees for local clean air zone infrastructure, consistent with the Conservative position that the increase burdens councils and motorists. No rebel votes appear on his record: he has voted with his party on every occasion where alignment is recorded.

At 67% participation — below the Commons average — Bhatti is a moderately active parliamentarian. His 227 contributions span economy and jobs, education, social care, and local government, and his stance profile marks him as strongly pro-business (96%), anti-tax (100%), and tough on crime (89%), while sitting well below his party's average on NHS funding support. He deviates from Conservative colleagues in being more consistently pro-whistleblower protection and more cautious on assisted dying access. On parliamentary scrutiny he scores 83%, consistent with his votes this week opposing rushed timetables.

Outside Westminster, local news coverage over the past three months has been broadly positive on constituency-facing stories: championing a new University College Birmingham culinary school in Chelmsley Wood, hosting community events for older residents, opposing a contested housing development on Bentley Heath farmland, and challenging a Barston Bridge consultation he considers insufficiently transparent. He holds no current select committee seat. Voting and speech data are available from 2019; news sentiment data covers the past 90 days.
