Eastleigh.

Liz Jarvis's most notable recent move was backing a Conservative-led motion to refer Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Peter Mandelson appointment -- one of the sharper acts of opposition available to a backbencher. Beyond that headline vote, she has consistently sided with the Lords against the government across a busy late-April legislative sprint: opposing the government's pension fund investment powers, backing Lords amendments to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill on multiple votes, and voting against carrying over the Northern Ireland Troubles Legacy Bill. On assisted dying, she backed New Clause 2 in June 2025, deviating slightly from her party's average position on safeguards.

At 76% voting participation -- modestly below the Commons average -- Jarvis is a 99.7% party-line voter in normal circumstances, making her Lords-scrutiny and privilege votes stand out. Her stance profile confirms the pattern: she scores 97% on pro-lords-scrutiny votes and 96% on pro-parliamentary-scrutiny measures. She has also voted unanimously against the employer National Insurance increase. Her 146 speech contributions span economy and jobs, social care, health, and cost-of-living -- broad constituency bread-and-butter rather than a narrow specialism.

Local news coverage adds texture: she campaigned for years to restore Eastleigh's police station and recently claimed success, intervened publicly when a Hampshire mayoral candidate made offensive remarks, and secured a ministerial meeting on export licence delays for a local tech firm. She also backs World Heritage status for local chalk streams and publicly opposed a digital ID scheme on civil liberties grounds. She sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee. News sentiment data covers 163 articles over 90 days but scores close to neutral, suggesting steady local coverage without major controversy.
