Neil Duncan-Jordan’s record in Parliament
Labour · MP for Poole, the seat covering Poole · email your MP
What your MP has actually voted for, said in the Commons and asked ministers about, topic by topic. We don’t tell you what they think — we show you what they did, with a link to the official record on every line, so you can read it yourself.
MPs miss votes for many reasons — ministerial or shadow duties, select committees, constituency business, illness, or an agreed pairing with an MP from another party. A percentage on its own doesn’t tell you which.
Voted differently from most Labour MPs 1 time in a sample of recent divisions:
Has said “Poole” in the Commons 28 times.
“Average gross median weekly full-time earnings in Poole are £764, but monthly rent is around £1,400. One in four children in Poole is living in relative poverty after housing costs, which shows the impact of high rents and their effect on the cost of living. Towns such as Poole are also desperate…”

Motions they’ve tabled
An Early Day Motion is a formal statement an MP writes and puts before the House for other members to sign. Unlike a vote, the words are the MP’s own. These are from the current Parliament.
- Autonomy’s report entitled Cleaning Up Politics
That this House welcomes the publication of Autonomy’s report Cleaning Up Politics; recognises that the overwhelming majority of the public believe the wealthiest in society use political donations to influence government in their own interests and that trust in politics is at historic lows; believes that proposals to cap political donations, prevent MPs from holding second jobs, and ban political donors from securing public contracts from the governments they pay to elect would improve trust in politics by strengthening transparency in decision making; further believes that these measures will reduce the corrupting influence of the super rich, who use their wealth to secure cash for access, cultivate paid for relationships to obtain lucrative public contracts, and move through second jobs as part of the revolving door between public service and personal enrichment; notes that reshaping how decisions are made, and ensuring that the voices heard by those in power reflect the public at large rather than those able to pay the most, is essential to building a politics centred on the needs of ordinary people, raising living standards and building a prosperous country; and therefore calls on the Government to adopt the recommendations set out in the report.

- Toxicity testing on animals
That this House acknowledges the terrible pain, suffering, distress, lasting harm and death suffered by animals subject to toxicity testing; notes that, under generic service licences, the substance being tested is unknown to those authorising the testing; further notes that the harrowing suffering of many animals subjected to toxicity testing has recently been exposed in devastating footage; recognises that this evidence is routinely hidden from the British public; further recognises that each mini-pig, primate, dog, pregnant rabbit and rat was an individual; commends the bravery and courage of the former laboratory worker who gathered this footage; thanks Animal Aid and Animals International for bringing this devastating footage to national attention; and supports Animal Aid and Animals International’s call for a halt to all new service licences, a review of existing service licences and for the government to urgently deliver its Replacing Animals in Science Strategy.

- Five-year indefinite leave to remain pathway for Skilled Worker visa holders (No. 2)
That this House recognises the vital contribution of Skilled Worker visa holders to the UK economy and public services, including sectors facing critical shortages such as health, engineering, and social care; notes that these individuals pay taxes, contribute to their communities, and have no recourse to public funds; further notes that they came to the UK in good faith on the clear understanding that five years of work and residence would provide a pathway to indefinite leave to remain (ILR), and many built lives in the UK on this basis; expresses concern that retrospective changes to this pathway would undermine confidence in the immigration system, damage the UK’s international reputation, and risk exacerbating skills shortages; and therefore calls on the Government to retain the five-year ILR pathway for all existing Skilled Worker visa holders.

- Attack on the hon. Member for Poole's constituency office
That this House expresses its heartfelt gratitude and thanks to everyone at Vanilla Hair and Beauty Salon for their kindness and assistance in supporting staff following an attack on the hon. Member for Poole’s constituency office; and recognises the swift action taken by the police to assist and deal with the situation, Members’ HR for their prompt offers of support, the Government Whips’ office for their assistance, hon. Members for their messages of support and all members of the local community who have shown the very best that Poole can offer.
Tabled 1 June 2026 · signed by 15 MPs
- NARPO Love or Money Campaign
That this House supports the National Association of Retired Police Officers' Love or Money campaign that seeks to highlight the unfair position that police widows and widowers in England, Wales and Scotland face due to the current Police Pension Regulations 1987, which removes access to their pensions when they marry or cohabit; believes that all police widows and widowers have the right to be treated the same regardless of their personal relationship status; and calls on the Government urgently to align the status and rights of police widows and widowers in England, Scotland and Wales with the rights of Northern Ireland police widows and widowers and to allow police widows and widowers to retain their pension entitlement in full regardless of how and when their spouse died.

In their own words

In their own words
“She will know, though, that the British Transport police is facing an unprecedented funding deficit that threatens safety on our railways. There is currently a shortfall of £8.5 million and a threat to nearly 300 jobs. Will the Home Secretary therefore meet the Transport Secretary to discuss how we…”
“That is why my new clause calls for the national £3 bus fare cap to be extended to all school routes, and for any future changes to the cap to be applied to school-only transport, too. I am grateful to the Members from across the House who have added their names in support of my new clause. In…”

In their own words

Climate and environment
Emissions, air quality and green space
How they voted
In their own words
“Even now, ordinary working people’s wages—their hard-earned savings—are being channelled into accelerating a climate crisis that hits the global working class the hardest. Lords amendments 1 and 27 prevent the Government from setting down binding targets on certain investments, which makes it…”
“The LGPS currently invests over £16 billion in fossil fuels, while 85% of all pension schemes lack a credible climate action plan. The environmental crisis is the great challenge facing us all. Workers’ wages should not be fuelling the climate catastrophe. Fundamentally, there is no retirement…”

Small business
High streets and the self-employed
In their own words
“The Minister will know that coastal towns, such as Poole, which I represent, rely on small businesses. Poole would not be Poole without its restaurants or ice cream parlours. Polling this week shows strong public support for higher levies on big tech. Could this be a way to raise revenue to cut…”

How this page works
Everything here comes from Parliament’s own published data: the Commons votes register, Hansard and the written questions service. For each topic we search the record for a key term and show the most recent results, along with how many we found in total so you can see what isn’t on the page.
“What they work on most” is simply a count of those results — the topics they raise most often, which is a fact about their diary, not their opinions. Motions are Early Day Motions they tabled themselves, from Parliament’s EDM service; we show only ones from the current Parliament, because a motion from a previous one tells you what an MP argued then, not what they are pressing for now.
Last checked 7 August 2026; it refreshes every week.
We publish the record, not a verdict on it. Boroughly takes no political position and never characterises an MP’s views, motives or party politics — a vote is reported as a vote, a quote as a quote. Votes can be procedural, and a single division rarely tells the whole story, so the links matter: follow them. Spot something wrong? Tell us.
