A safe SNP seat, won with 48% of the vote in 2019.

Limited data makes it difficult to build a full picture of Tommy Sheppard's recent parliamentary activity. No voting participation is recorded in the current period, with zero divisions logged -- meaning there are no votes to analyse for party loyalty or rebellion. There is similarly no recent news coverage of note, and no speech data is available to indicate where he has been directing his attention at Westminster.

Sheppard has represented Edinburgh East for the SNP since 2015, and over his parliamentary career has been associated with Scottish independence and cultural policy causes. However, for the current period under review, there is no recorded engagement across the standard metrics -- no votes, no flagged speeches, and no committee activity. Whether this reflects a data gap, a period of absence, or reduced parliamentary activity cannot be determined from the available information alone.

Votes less often than 100% of MPs.
