Hyndburn.

Hyndburn's MP made her most significant parliamentary mark on 20 June 2025, voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading -- one of five rebel votes on that legislation in a single day. She backed amendments designed to close what supporters called safeguarding loopholes around voluntary starvation, and opposed the bill's final passage through the Commons. All five votes put her against the Labour majority on an issue where Parliament allowed a free vote, so these count as formal deviations but reflect genuine conscience rather than factional dissent. Beyond the chamber, she has attracted positive local coverage for lobbying a £1m veterans' support package, championing legislation against online abuse of grieving families following Jay Slater's death, leading the regeneration of the former Accrington Victoria Hospital site, and securing a new GP surgery for the town.

At 63% voting participation she sits noticeably below the Commons average, though first-term MPs with heavy local caseloads sometimes show this pattern. Where she does vote, she follows Labour's line 96% of the time -- a loyal voting record outside the assisted dying rebellion. Her stance profile shows 100% alignment on progressive taxation and 92% on workers' rights, but only 14% alignment on pro-business votes and 40% on welfare expansion -- both below the Labour average. Her speeches concentrate on social care, the economy, defence, and education across 105 contributions in 69 debates.

She sits on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, which helps explain her focus on local government and regeneration issues in both speeches and press coverage. The high volume of crime-related news coverage -- 31 articles averaging near-zero sentiment -- likely reflects her online-abuse campaign rather than criticism of her record. News data covers the past 90 days; full voting history runs from her election in July 2024.
