Parliamentary career

Since his election to Parliament in 2019 Mangnall has been a regular contributor in debates on Bills regarding fishing, farming, international trade, development, foreign policy and defence. He briefly served as a Member of the Regulatory Reform Committee between March 2020 and May 2021, then the Procedures Committee between March 2020 to July 2020, before joining the International Trade Select Committee in November 2020.[14][15] The Department for International Trade (DIT) and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) merged to form the Department for Business and Trade, Mangnall joined the Business and Trade Committee.[16]
Mangnall has voted against the Government in 10 votes out of 889, that is 1.1% of his votes.
During the COVID-19 pandemic Mangnall persistently rebelled on COVID measures and opposed the second and third national lockdowns. He also advocated against NHS staff being forced to have vaccinations and the mandate extending the wearing of face-coverings to most indoor settings. Mangnall stated in Parliament that "no government should ever use fear as a tool to try and persuade its citizens", and that the UK needs to "build up its resilience and reduce its restrictions."
Mangnall's work on the International Trade Committee has established his reputation as a vocal contributor about the need for Parliament to have greater scrutiny over UK trade deals. He has gained cross-party support in the House of Commons for all new free trade deals to be given significant debating time before a vote. Mangnall is a strong proponent of free trade and in 2020 he co-authored a paper with the Policy Exchange on the benefits of UK membership of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.[20]
In February 2022 Mangnall declared that he had submitted a letter of no confidence in the then-Prime Minister, Boris Johnson MP, to the 1922 Committee. He asserted that "standards in public life matter", concluding that Boris Johnson's behaviour had fallen short of the mark expected by the British public. Mangnall gave one interview to the Daily Telegraph journalist Chris Hope outlining his reasons.[21]
