Neil Coyle.

Coyle's most significant recent act was voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading in June 2025, breaking with roughly 60% of his Labour colleagues who backed it. He did not simply oppose the bill — he also voted for two amendments that would have barred assisted dying applications where the motivation included not wanting to be a burden, a mental disorder, a disability, or financial hardship. His voting record shows he sits notably closer to the sceptical end of his party on assisted dying, 45 percentage points below the Labour average on measures expanding access. Beyond that single debate, his news coverage has been dominated by conduct issues: a 2022 suspension over racist remarks and drunken abuse, the whip's restoration in 2023, and a 2025 removal from a Westminster debate after a confrontation with Lee Anderson.

On routine votes, Coyle is a 97.8% party-line voter, with 449 of 575 votes cast — a participation rate that sits slightly below the Commons average. He votes consistently for workers' rights measures and progressive taxation, and backed the government's extension of employment tribunal time limits and the modernisation of union balloting in 2026. He deviates most sharply from Labour norms on disability rights and armed forces welfare, supporting those positions at roughly twice the party rate. His speeches, spread across 133 contributions, concentrate on the economy, fiscal policy, and crime, with a consistent thread of local government and social care.

No current committee roles are listed. His March 2026 constituency column — covering new housing, reduced foodbank use, and local policing — suggests a deliberate effort to build a local record, though news sentiment from the past 90 days is too sparse to assess recent public response. Voting data runs to July 2026; speech data to April 2026.
