Represented by Lab since 2024.

McAllister's most notable departure from the Labour line has been on assisted dying. In June 2025, he voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading -- one of only a minority of Labour MPs to do so -- and also opposed several amendments that the party majority backed, while supporting more restrictive amendments that the majority rejected. His votes consistently pointed in the direction of tighter safeguards or outright opposition to the legislation. Beyond that conscience vote, he has been active on constituency issues: raising asbestos-related cancer deaths in an adjournment debate, publicly backing WASPI women in their pension compensation fight through ministerial correspondence and parliamentary questions, and touring local businesses to highlight economic concerns.

At 89% voting participation he sits broadly in line with Commons averages for a first-term MP. Outside the assisted dying votes, he is a 96% party-line voter, supportive of the government's budget, progressive taxation approach, and workers' rights agenda. His stance data shows zero alignment with positions characterised as pro-parliamentary-scrutiny and pro-business-interests, suggesting consistent support for government positions over backbench checking mechanisms. Economy and jobs dominate his speech activity, followed by cost-of-living and defence, with 16 contributions across 16 debates since entering Parliament in 2024.
