Labour Party MP for Worcester.
Collins' most notable recent act was voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at every stage on 20 June 2025 — opposing Third Reading, backing tighter safeguards via New Clause 16, and rejecting amendments the Labour majority supported. His voting pattern on the bill places him well outside the party mainstream: he aligns with assisted dying access just 11% of the time against a Labour average of 58%, and scores 21 percentage points above his party on outright opposition to assisted dying. That is his most significant deviation from the Labour line in an otherwise loyal record.
At 89% participation and 97.4% party alignment, Collins is an engaged, dependable Labour voter. He consistently backs progressive taxation (100% aligned) and workers' rights (85%), while voting with the government against Lords amendments and parliamentary scrutiny measures — a pattern typical of loyal government-side MPs in this parliament. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs (24 contributions), energy (18), and environment (18), with health and social care also featuring heavily. He chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Family Hubs, which fits his local engagement on education. He holds no select committee seat.
Collins represents Worcester, a Midlands marginal the party gained in 2024, and his local news footprint is thin — most coverage concerns community and crime stories with no direct MP involvement. One notable exception: he championed new nursery openings in March 2026 and has engaged with the heat pump debate relevant to Worcester Bosch, a major local employer. News sentiment data covers 101 articles over 90 days but yields an average MP score of zero, suggesting limited local press profile beyond constituency announcements.
Tom Collins is the Labour MP for Worcester, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.
