Appointed to a Treasury parliamentary role in September 2025, Kirith Entwistle has been one of the more visible new Labour MPs from the 2024 intake. She voted against her party twice: opposing the Liberal Democrats' proportional representation bill in December 2024, and backing a strengthened advertising ban in the Assisted Dying Bill in June 2025 -- placing her on the more cautious end of that conscience vote. She has attracted positive local coverage for securing £20 million in government investment for Bolton North East and running a youth employment drop-in event targeting the area's high joblessness.

A 99.5% party-line voter across 406 of 515 votes -- slightly below the Commons average for participation -- she reliably backs workers' rights and progressive taxation measures. Her stance profile is notably sceptical of Lords scrutiny (0% aligned) and parliamentary scrutiny more broadly (11%), though both figures sit at or above the Labour average. She speaks frequently on economy and jobs, crime, health, and local government, and her 92 contributions across 55 debates suggest active engagement.

Her Treasury appointment and Modernisation Committee membership offer useful levers for a first-term MP. Two deviations stand out in the data: she votes less supportively on pension protection than the average Labour MP (17% versus 43%), and she leans more cautious than her party on assisted dying access. Recent news coverage, averaged across 17 articles over the past 90 days, is mildly positive, with housing and health the most prominent topics. No voting record predates her July 2024 election.
