Doncaster Central.
Labour and Co-operative Party MP Sally Jameson holds the seat on 46.2% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Jameson's most significant parliamentary moment since election has been a cluster of rebel votes on the assisted dying bill in June 2025. She voted against her party on five divisions -- backing stricter safeguards around the "voluntary stopping of eating and drinking" loophole and supporting procedural amendments the Labour majority opposed. Her stance profile shows she sits notably above the Labour average on end-of-life autonomy (+22 percentage points) and assisted dying safeguards (+16 points), making this a genuine area of independent judgment rather than a one-off deviation. On most other votes she tracks the party closely: a 97.4% alignment rate across 461 of 515 votes places her among Labour's more loyal MPs.
Her parliamentary pattern is active and locally grounded. At 90% voting participation she is above the Commons average, and her speech record -- 123 contributions across 87 debates -- leans heavily on economy and jobs, local government, social care, and cost-of-living. She has no committee seat, so her influence runs through chamber contributions rather than scrutiny work. Her stance scores show consistent support for workers' rights (88%) and progressive taxation (97%), with notably low scores on parliamentary scrutiny (8%) and Lords oversight (0%), suggesting she votes with the executive against checks on government power.
Outside Westminster, Jameson has drawn positive local coverage: a campaign for free city-centre buses, a constituency advice event on financial hardship, and fundraising for youth homelessness all feature prominently. Local news over the past 90 days skews toward crime coverage (22 articles), though sentiment there is near-neutral. She holds no committee roles, so there is no formal scrutiny record to assess beyond her voting and speech activity.
