Elected in July 2024, this Glasgow North MP made his most visible stand on assisted dying, voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading in June 2025 -- defying the Labour majority on five separate divisions relating to the legislation. His votes included opposing the bill outright and backing amendments designed to close a potential loophole whereby voluntary self-starvation could qualify someone as terminally ill. This puts him notably to the right of his party on end-of-life policy, where his voting profile sits 22 points above the Labour average on end-of-life autonomy measures. More recently, he raised the Union Street fire in Glasgow at Prime Minister's Questions, pushing the UK Government to explore funding support for repairs -- a piece of local advocacy that generated positive coverage.

Rhodes votes with Labour 98.1% of the time and participates at 85% -- a solid but not exceptional rate. He is strongly aligned with workers' rights (88%) and progressive taxation (96%), but consistently votes against positions characterised as pro-business (18%), tough on crime (30%), or supportive of parliamentary and Lords scrutiny (13% and 0% respectively). His speeches -- 117 contributions across 73 debates -- concentrate heavily on economy and jobs, social care, and cost of living. He sits on the Environmental Audit Committee, though climate-related voting shows only moderate alignment (51%).

Martin Rhodes is the Labour MP for Glasgow North, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.

Notable Votes

MPs voted on the Third Reading of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — the final Commons vote on whether to pass the assisted dying legislation in its amended form. Passing Third Reading sends the Bill to the House of Lords.

MP voted NoAgainst party majority

A procedural vote on whether to allow New Clause 16 to be formally considered as part of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Report Stage, after proceedings had been interrupted on 13 June when an objection was raised. The debate excerpts do not reveal the substantive content of New Clause 16.

MP voted YesAgainst party majority

Vote on an amendment to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill that would prevent someone from qualifying as 'terminally ill' under the Bill solely because they have voluntarily stopped eating and drinking. This matters because without the amendment, a person could potentially use voluntary starvation to meet the terminal illness threshold and access an assisted death.
