Apr 2026
A Con seat since 2010, held for 4 consecutive elections.
One of the Conservative Party's most prominent voices on foreign policy, Bob Seely has been making headlines by publicly attacking the Labour government's handling of the Chagos Islands deal. Writing detailed critical commentary in March 2026, he described the arrangement as a "surrender" and challenged senior government figures over what he characterises as a damaging concession on a strategically vital British territory. He has also claimed credit for working with the government to secure over £750,000 in college building upgrade funding for the Isle of Wight, though that money comes from a national scheme rather than any constituency-specific intervention.
Beyond those recent moments, the available data on Seely's parliamentary activity is unusually sparse. No voting record is available for the current period, meaning it is not possible to assess his participation rate, party loyalty, or rebel tendencies from recent division data. No speech activity has been recorded in the available dataset either, and he currently holds no select committee positions.
Votes less often than 100% of MPs.
