Alex McIntyre.

On assisted dying, McIntyre broke firmly with the Labour mainstream. He voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading and backed multiple amendments that would have tightened eligibility safeguards — including restrictions on applicants motivated by not wanting to be a burden, financial pressures, or lack of care access. Those four rebel votes in June 2025 make him one of the more consistent opponents of the bill among Labour MPs, voting against his party on every key assisted dying division. He is otherwise a 97.9% party-line voter.

His parliamentary engagement is solid — 81% participation, close to the Commons average — and his speech record is substantial: 188 contributions across 103 debates. Economy, crime, social care and the labour market dominate his speaking topics, and he sits on the Health and Social Care Committee, which aligns with a personal thread running through his recent coverage. A 2025 BBC feature covered his seven-stone weight loss following a diabetes diagnosis; he used the platform to promote Gloucester's NHS remission programme and host a Diabetes UK event in Parliament. He has also introduced a bill proposing paid leave for domestic abuse victims, and campaigned publicly to retain Post Office services in Gloucester city centre — securing a partial win. His stance profile flags notably low alignment on parliamentary and Lords scrutiny votes, suggesting he tends to back the government's preferred pace over additional checks.

McIntyre has represented Gloucester since July 2024. The most recent 90-day news data covers six articles across crime, environment and transport, with sentiment scores unavailable for that window. Longer-term coverage, particularly from 2025, is consistently positive — reflecting constituency campaigns and local funding wins, including a £20m investment for two Gloucester suburbs announced in early 2026.
