Bolton South and Walkden.

Qureshi's most significant recent actions have been on assisted dying. She voted against her party at every stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- opposing Second Reading in November 2024, backing strengthening amendments at Report Stage in June 2025, and voting against Third Reading when the Bill passed. With five rebel votes on a single piece of legislation, she is among the more consistent opponents of assisted dying on the Labour benches, sitting notably above her party's average on the anti-assisted-dying measure. Beyond Westminster, she has attracted local coverage for championing a fireworks regulation bill, raising flood defence funding gaps for affected villages, and intervening directly to help a stranded constituent with a passport crisis.

A 59% voting participation rate sits below the Commons average, though long-serving MPs with heavy casework loads often show similar patterns. Where she does vote, she aligns with Labour 98.4% of the time -- the rebel votes all cluster around assisted dying, not economic or fiscal policy. Her speeches, spread across 224 contributions in 68 debates, focus heavily on defence, the economy and jobs, crime, social care, and health. She scores markedly higher than the Labour average on NHS funding and welfare expansion, and votes consistently for progressive taxation and housing development.

Qureshi has represented Bolton South since 2010, and her human rights law background -- she was a barrister -- likely informs her focus on criminal justice, social care, and the ethics of assisted dying. She holds no current committee seats, which limits her formal scrutiny role. Local news coverage over the past 90 days is high in volume (81 articles) but dominated by crime reporting, where the average sentiment score is neutral, suggesting coverage of local incidents rather than her direct advocacy. Parliamentary data is current to late April 2026.
