Frome and East Somerset.

One rebel vote sets Sabine apart from her party in the past few months: in April 2026 she backed a motion to proscribe Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation, defying the Liberal Democrat majority. Otherwise she has voted firmly with her party -- opposing the government's power to direct pension fund investments, pushing back on asylum support regulations, and backing Lords amendments on devolution and children's legislation over the Commons position.

At 64% voting participation she sits below the Commons average, though new MPs representing rural seats sometimes face the pull of constituency work over division lobbying. She votes against the government's fiscal measures almost without exception, opposes the NI employer increase entirely, and strongly backs Lords scrutiny -- her 96% alignment on that stance and consistent support for Lords amendments over government positions reflects a pattern of prioritising parliamentary checks. Her 147 contributions across 77 debates are spread across local government, the economy, social care, crime, and transport -- a broad portfolio rather than a single specialism. She sits on both the Committee of Privileges and the Committee on Standards.

Local coverage paints a constitutency-active picture: she has hosted a Westminster event on music education, launched a petition on rural bus services, and engaged the Police and Crime Commissioner on rural crime. A negative-scoring BBC story from January 2026 about an MP refusing to resign after arrest refers to a different MP, not Sabine. Her news sentiment over 90 days is broadly neutral, with transport and housing coverage carrying the most positive signal. Voting and speech data run to April 2026; no significant gaps in the record were identified.
