Ben Goldsborough.

Goldsborough's two votes against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — at both Second Reading in November 2024 and Third Reading in June 2025 — are his only departures from the Labour line in nearly 500 votes, making assisted dying the single issue where he has consistently broken with his party. Beyond that, he has attracted attention through personal advocacy: he raised Zoe's Law — a proposed change to skin cancer screening — at Prime Minister's Questions after disclosing his own cancer treatment in Parliament, and he secured a Westminster Hall debate on shotgun licensing changes, presenting a constituent petition and arguing the reforms threatened Norfolk's rural economy and culture.

At 86% voting participation and 99.6% party alignment, he is a reliable Labour loyalist who votes above the Commons average for engagement. His speeches — 155 contributions across 98 debates — cluster around economy and jobs, local government, crime, health, and agriculture, reflecting a South Norfolk MP attentive to rural and small-business concerns. He scores notably higher than his Labour colleagues on anti-fossil-fuel-subsidy votes (+24 percentage points above the party average) and lower on opposition-day motions, pension protection, and public health votes.

He sits on the Petitions Committee, which fits a pattern of constituent-facing work: rural road safety, video game consumer protections, and shotgun licensing have all featured in his parliamentary activity. His first term shows a locally focused, largely loyal backbencher whose most distinctive parliamentary moment remains his personal testimony on cancer treatment. Insufficient recent news data limits assessment of his current local profile.
