Lincoln Jopp.

Jopp's most controversial moment came early in his tenure, when Novara Media reported him praising Israel's 2024 Lebanon pager attacks "with awe" — attacks that killed and injured civilians, including children — and dismissing human rights concerns about them. That episode aside, he has stayed firmly on the Conservative line: 100% party alignment across 575 votes cast, with no rebel votes and a consistent record opposing Labour's employment and trade union legislation, including votes against extending tribunal claim windows and modernising union balloting methods. More recently he served as a teller for the Conservative side during opposition efforts to block the Immigration and Asylum Bill and to strengthen public advocate powers for disaster victims.

His participation rate of 69% sits below the Commons average, but he has been active in debate — 563 contributions across 281 debates since July 2024. Defence dominates his speech record, ahead of economy, fiscal policy, and local government, which fits his seat on the Defence Committee and his background as a former military officer. His voting profile is sharply pro-business and anti-tax, with notably lower alignment than his own party average on energy security, criminal justice reform, and climate action.

On constituency work, he has raised Spelthorne-specific causes in the Commons: advocating for a film-industry university in Surrey, floating solar panels on reservoirs, a revival of the Middlesex county identity, and — most positively received — a parliamentary debate on Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood that gave bereaved local families a public platform. Insufficient recent news data limits assessment of his current local standing. Speech and voting data cover his full term to date.
