A marginal seat — won by just 712 votes (1.7%) in 2019.
No voting record, speech data, news coverage, or committee activity is available for Ian Levy in the current data window, making it impossible to characterise his recent parliamentary behaviour with any specificity.
Levy has represented Blyth Valley since December 2019, when he famously flipped the seat for the Conservatives -- a constituency that had returned Labour MPs since its creation in 1950. That result became symbolic of the so-called "Red Wall" collapse and attracted significant national attention at the time. He was a mental health nurse before entering politics, and in earlier parliamentary sessions spoke on NHS staffing and mental health provision.
Con took this seat from Lab after 3 consecutive elections.
