Created in the 2023 boundary review, replacing Birmingham, Hall Green.

Dispatch

A new constituency created in the 2023 boundary review. Won by Lab in its first election in 2024. Centred on Birmingham. Population 106,680, notably young (median age 33 vs 41 nationally), a majority-minority constituency.

Tahir Ali has broken with his party on two of the most consequential votes of this parliament. He twice voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- at both Second and Third Reading -- placing him among the minority of Labour MPs who opposed legalising assisted dying throughout the bill's passage. He also voted against the government's July 2025 order expanding the list of proscribed terrorist organisations, a notable dissent on counter-terrorism powers. A fourth rebel vote came on a Crime and Policing Bill clause in June 2025. These four departures from Labour's line stand out given that across all other recorded divisions he has voted with the government 99% of the time.

Beyond those rebellions, Ali presents as a broadly loyal backbencher. His voting participation sits at 78% -- modestly below the Commons average -- and he has no current committee roles. His stance profile shows complete alignment with the government's legislative agenda and budget, firm opposition to tax cuts, and strong support for progressive taxation. He scores notably lower than the Labour average on civil liberties questions (14% versus a party average of 1% -- meaning he votes against civil liberties positions less often than most colleagues, though both figures are low) and is slightly below party average on welfare expansion and business flexibility votes.
