MP for Boston and Skegness
“A highly party-loyal backbencher who rarely rebels but often misses votes.”
Richard Tice is the Member of Parliament for Boston and Skegness, elected in July 2024, representing Reform UK. He serves as a backbench MP for his constituency. The data show a profile of high party loyalty, very low attendance, and a handful of rebel votes on end-of-life legislation.
His voting record shows very high party loyalty (98%), but very low attendance (10% of votes, well below the party average of 41%). He has publicly rebelled against his party on a series of End of Life amendments in June 2025. In policy areas, he tends to vote against welfare-related protections (Universal Credit, workers’ rights, and renter protections) while voting for VAT changes and for mental health funding, with mixed positions on other issues such as transport and sentencing.
The MP has 31 declared financial interests, including shareholdings, miscellaneous entries, and various forms of employment and earnings, alongside travel outside the UK and gifts or hospitality from UK sources.
