Coventry South.

One of the most prominent figures on the left since 2019, Sultana has lately become a story about her own political project as much as her parliamentary work. Your Party -- which she co-founded -- has attracted sustained negative coverage, with multiple outlets reporting internal divisions, grassroots dissatisfaction, and the party's failure to field local election candidates. News coverage over the past 90 days skews negative, particularly on party performance and her own leadership standing. In Parliament, she voted to refer Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson vetting controversy and repeatedly sided with Lords amendments on the English Devolution Bill against the government's preferred position -- both votes that place her outside the mainstream left consensus.

Her voting record tells a mixed story. At 68% participation, she votes below the Commons average. On policy substance she is a near-perfect progressive: 96% aligned on progressive taxation, 82% on tenant rights, 80% on workers' rights. But her 0% alignment on pro-business votes and 28% on crime measures show a consistent ideological edge. No rebel votes are recorded against Your Party, making her 100% loyal to the party line -- though in a small party, that measure carries less weight than it would in a major one. Her 60 contributions span defence, social care, and the economy, and she has spoken publicly against Coventry Council's renewal of a Palantir AI contract.

The context that matters most here is structural. Sultana sits on no select committees, limiting her formal parliamentary leverage. The negative news pattern -- centred on Your Party's internal troubles and her sidelining within its leadership -- suggests her influence may currently be more contested than her public profile implies. Speech data predates May 2026; voting data is current to late April 2026.
