Hazelgrove's one departure from Labour's line came in June 2025, when she voted for a new clause to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill -- a free vote on assisted dying where she backed tighter safeguards than her party's majority. Otherwise she has been one of Labour's most loyal MPs, voting with the party on 99.8% of divisions, including supporting steel nationalisation and backing the government's King's Speech programme in full. Her most recent news coverage reflects active constituency work: she arranged a ministerial meeting for a constituent with cancer fighting school admissions policy, raised the case in Parliament, and committed to submitting evidence to the government consultation -- coverage that rated her performance highly across multiple outlets.

She participates in 90% of votes, above the Commons average, and her 49 contributions span economy and jobs, local government, health, housing, and defence -- the last topic likely shaped by her Filton and Bradley Stoke constituency, home to major aerospace and defence employers including Airbus. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, while she sits notably above her party average on consumer protection and public services funding. She scores below the Labour average on assisted dying safeguards and disability benefits -- the latter a pattern worth watching given the government's welfare reform agenda.

She holds no select committee seat, which limits her formal scrutiny role. Recent local news is dominated by crime coverage (37 articles, near-neutral sentiment), with more positive coverage on transport and education. The July 2024 article flagging her predecessor's low profile on local issues provides useful baseline context: constituent expectations were clearly for a more visible representative.
