Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Altrincham, Sale and Hale (Trafford). Population 94,195, highly educated (50% degree-holders). Recorded crime is 100% below the national average. 6,220 businesses.

A loyalist with a notably lower voting attendance than typical, Connor Rand has nonetheless been active on the government's legislative agenda -- voting consistently with Labour across all recorded divisions, including a string of April 2026 votes to reject House of Lords amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill. The latter attracted criticism from some peers, who argued that government powers to direct pension fund investments amounted to an unjustified "power grab" over private savings. Rand backed the government's position on all counts without deviation.

At 62% voting participation -- below the Commons average -- Rand is a 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes to date. His stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, while he scores low on parliamentary scrutiny (7%) and Lords oversight (0%), consistent with his voting record. Compared to Labour colleagues, he votes notably more often in favour of NHS funding (+26 percentage points above the party average) and tenant rights, and has supported assisted dying access at a higher rate than most Labour MPs. His 89 parliamentary contributions span economy, health, and social care -- the most active areas of his speaking record.
