Aldershot.

Baker's most significant break from Labour came on the assisted dying bill in June 2025, when she voted against her party five times. She backed amendments to close the voluntary starvation loophole -- splitting from the Labour majority on three procedural variants of that same question -- and ultimately voted against the bill's Third Reading, opposing the legislation as it passed to the Lords. On local issues, she has been notably active: she led the bid to bring National Armed Forces Day 2026 to Aldershot and Farnborough, launched a survey on military family needs in constituency hubs, and joined neighbouring MPs in opposing a McDonald's development near a local nature reserve that attracted nearly 8,000 petition signatures.

At 77% voting participation, Baker is somewhat below the Commons average. She votes with Labour 97% of the time on most issues, strongly supporting progressive taxation, housing development, and workers' rights. Her stances on parliamentary scrutiny and Lords oversight sit well below Labour's own average, suggesting she broadly defers to the executive. Where she departs from her party's average most sharply is on armed forces welfare -- 31 percentage points above Labour colleagues -- and on end-of-life autonomy and assisted dying safeguards, consistent with her rebel votes on the bill.

The armed forces thread runs through her work more broadly. She sits on the Defence Committee and defence dominates her speech activity, which spans 94 contributions across 76 debates -- a solid output for a first-term MP. Economy and jobs, health, and social care also feature heavily. Local news coverage is largely neutral in tone across 67 articles in the past 90 days, with defence and culture-community stories most prominent. Data on her earlier career is limited given she entered Parliament only in July 2024.
