Dear
SPUC supporter,
The election is over, and Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party will now form a Government. The election night has seen huge political change – Labour in with a large majority, a big share of the popular vote for Reform UK, and the SNP losing the majority of their seats.

These results will also have repercussions for the pro-life movement.

We will of course be conducting analyses of the results and compiling the views of the new Members of Parliament in the coming days and weeks. All the information you gathered during the election period will be integral to this.

What about pro-life MPs?

A number of pro-life MPs will be returning to Parliament, including Carla Lockhart, the most recent leader of the All Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group, and Danny Kruger, who until the election headed up the APPG on Dying Well.

Veteran pro-life MP Sir Edward Leigh has kept his seat and will be Father of the House. Ian Duncan Smith won through in Chingford.

However, many good pro-life MPs have lost their seats.

Fiona Bruce, the most prominent pro-life MP for many years, lost out in Congleton. In a shock result in Northern Ireland, Ian Paisley junior, who has always championed the unborn, will no longer be an MP.

Other pro-life MPs who will not be returning include Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, Chris Green, Caroline Ansell, Liam Fox and Miriam Cates.

What about pro-abortion MPs?

On the pro-abortion side, Diana Johnson and Stella Creasy were returned with comfortable majorities. Jess Phillips scraped through with 700 votes.

What happens next?

SPUC is hosting a free online webinar, equipping supporters with information on the outcome of the 2024 General Election and how this could shape policies relating to life issues in the UK.

With so much change in Parliament, work now begins on finding out MPs views on our issues. We will need your help to do this, so do look out for our campaign actions next week.

Thank you for campaigning with us during this election period.
