Dispatch
Apr 2026

Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Sandiacre. Population 93,864.

A 2024 intake MP, Adam Thompson has been most visible recently through local campaigning rather than parliamentary rebellion -- he has voted with Labour 100% of the time across 432 divisions, with one minor exception: a procedural vote in April 2025 in which he backed a rarely-used motion to exclude the public and press from the Commons chamber, against his party's majority. More substantively, he has been publicly credited with securing a new health centre for Erewash as part of a £50m investment, claiming he was "determined Erewash should be at the front of the queue." He has also raised education issues at PMQs, used his engineering and further-education background to champion adult learning, and visibly engaged with a local crackdown on HMO proliferation in the constituency.

At Westminster, Thompson is an active participant -- 93% voting attendance is above the Commons average. His speech activity clusters around crime, health, and economy and jobs, and he sits on the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee. He chairs an All-Party Parliamentary Group on the furniture industry, reflecting a local economic interest. His stance profile marks him as fully aligned with the government agenda and progressive taxation, though he scores notably below his party average on workers' rights votes (73% vs Labour's 83%), and registers zero alignment on civil liberties, parliamentary scrutiny, and pro-business measures.
