Dispatch
Apr 2026

Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Brighouse, Elland and Todmorden. Population 96,907, notably older (median age 46 vs 41 nationally).

An independently-minded presence on the assisted dying debate, Fenton-Glynn cast five rebel votes against his party during the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill's Report Stage in June 2025 -- consistently backing amendments to close loopholes around voluntary starvation as a route to eligibility, while supporting a procedural safeguard on doctor assessments. His voting profile on end-of-life issues deviates notably from Labour's average, sitting 22 percentage points above his party on end-of-life autonomy and 20 points above on safeguards -- suggesting a position that is broadly supportive of assisted dying but insistent on tighter protections. He also joined the Labour rebellion over PIP welfare reforms, drawing on his charity sector background to publicly oppose cuts he argued would harm disabled constituents -- a stance covered prominently in the Halifax Courier.

At 88% voting participation and 97.4% party-line alignment, Fenton-Glynn is a broadly loyal government MP who nevertheless picks his moments to break ranks on conscience issues. His 230 parliamentary contributions span economy and jobs, social care, health, and fiscal policy -- a pattern consistent with his seat on the Health and Social Care Committee. He scores strongly on workers' rights and progressive taxation votes, but low on pro-business and parliamentary scrutiny measures.
