Dispatch
Apr 2026

Represented by Con since 2024. Covers Bromsgrove, Catshill and Birmingham. Population 99,185. Recorded crime is 37% below the national average.

A vocal opposition backbencher on local and economic issues, Bradley Thomas has used parliamentary platforms to challenge the Labour government directly on cost-of-living pressures -- urging the Chancellor to scrap the fuel duty rise, publicly calling the 15% business rate reduction for pubs "just doesn't cut it," and making the case in the press for abolishing stamp duty on family homes. He has also led a Westminster Hall debate defending Worcestershire's administrative identity against proposals that would draw it into Birmingham's orbit. These are the actions defining his early tenure.

Thomas votes at 80% participation -- broadly in line with Commons averages -- and is a 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes recorded. His stance profile reflects orthodox Conservative opposition: near-total resistance to tax increases (96%), strong support for civil liberties (87%), business (77%), and parliamentary scrutiny (76%), while voting against the government's agenda in 96% of cases. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, local government, defence, and fiscal policy, with crime and social care also featuring regularly.
