Record
The member’s figures against the median of their group and of the chamber. Each vote counts the member in the group they belonged to that day.
Chamber median: 90.6 %
14 opposite (for ↔ against), 24 abstained against the line, 4 voted for or against when the line was to abstain
Compared with each group they sat in
| Group | Participation | With majority line | Against clear line | Abstention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Left 17 Jul 2024 – 30 Apr 2026 | 75.1 % of 490 median 87.1 % (−12.0 pts) | 83.4 % of 367 median 87.1 % (−3.7 pts) | 12.3 % of 316 | 14.9 % of 368 |
| S&D 19 May 2026 – 17 Sept 2026 | 81.5 % of 130 median 92.3 % (−10.8 pts) | 97.2 % of 106 median 96.9 % (+0.3 pts) | 2.9 % of 104 | 1.9 % of 106 |
- Whole term, 620 final votes; 620 of 794 decisions had a final vote recorded by name.
- “No vote recorded” is not the same as absent: leave, illness and chairing the sitting look the same.
- A group’s line is inferred from its members’ votes — Parliament publishes no whip.
- This member changed group in this period: each vote counts them in the group of that day, and they are compared with each group over the roll calls held while they sat in it — not with one group’s median.
Every final roll-call vote of the term with the member’s position, newest first.
