Tom Morrison.

Consistent opposition to assisted dying is the most distinctive thing about Tom Morrison right now. He voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Second Reading, Third Reading, and against an amendment requiring palliative care assessments — breaking with roughly three-quarters of his Liberal Democrat colleagues each time. That makes him one of the more conspicuous rebels among Lib Dem MPs on this issue. Beyond the chamber, he has attracted positive local press for championing nursery safety reforms after meeting parents whose nine-month-old died, and for publicly pressing Greater Manchester's Mayor to extend Metrolink to Cheadle.

At 54% voting participation, Morrison falls noticeably below the Commons average. Where he does vote, he sticks with the Lib Dems 99% of the time outside the assisted dying votes. His stance profile shows strong support for parliamentary and Lords scrutiny, climate action, and Lords reform, but he diverges sharply from his party on fiscal matters — voting against progressive taxation in every relevant division. His 96 contributions span local government, social care, the economy, and health, suggesting broad rather than narrowly specialist engagement.

Morrison has sat on the Procedure Committee and the Committee of Selection since entering Parliament in the 2024 general election — roles that shape how the Commons operates rather than scrutinising specific policy areas. His specialist interests are harder to pin down from the data: the speech topics are wide-ranging, and recent news sentiment data is too thin to identify a sustained local pattern. The assisted dying votes remain the clearest signal of where he is willing to break from his party leadership.
