Fareham and Waterlooville.

Suella Braverman has drawn more attention for her public interventions than her parliamentary record. In March 2026 she attracted widespread ridicule -- including from The Spectator -- for calling the FA's coaching diversity target "utter woke nonsense" and for questioning global warming on the grounds that it was cold outside. She also joined other Reform MPs in walking out of the Commons during a heated exchange that month. In Parliament, she has broken with Reform on three occasions: supporting removal of the two-child benefit cap (against her party), backing a planning amendment that would have weakened environmental protections, and opposing a Liberal Democrat policing amendment her party supported -- a scattered set of deviations that does not point to a coherent ideological divergence.

Her participation rate of 40% -- well below the Commons average -- means she votes in fewer than half of recorded divisions. When she does vote, she backs Reform's position 98.6% of the time, making her effectively a party-line MP. Her stance profile shows strong alignment against tax increases and employer National Insurance rises, and in favour of Lords scrutiny of legislation, while sitting well below her party average on assisted dying access -- she has voted against it entirely, compared with Reform's 52% average support. Her 49 speeches span economy, defence, fiscal policy, and crime; she holds no committee positions.

The news data provides useful context: 29 of 75 recent articles focus on her personal performance, averaging a score of -0.47 -- the most negatively covered issue category in her coverage. Local government and transport coverage is neutral in tone. She left the Conservative Party to join Reform in 2025, having previously served as Home Secretary under Rishi Sunak, and that background informs her policy emphasis on immigration control and crime. Voting data beyond the recorded divisions is limited.
