Lewisham North.
Labour Party MP Vicky Foxcroft holds the seat on 57.7% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Foxcroft's most notable recent move was backing a backbench push to ban under-16s from social media -- siding with a rebellion pressing the government to act on child protection. She also broke with her party five times during the Report Stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June 2025, voting for tighter safeguards: she backed amendments to block voluntary starvation as a route to eligibility and supported procedural moves to ensure continuity of medical assessments. Her deviations cluster around caution rather than opposition -- she scores notably above Labour's average on assisted-dying safeguards and end-of-life autonomy metrics.
Outside those flashpoints, she is a 97% party-line voter with an 87% participation rate, slightly above the Commons average. Her speeches lean heavily on economy and jobs, social care, and health -- topics that align with her previous role as Shadow Minister for Disabled People. She scores near the top of her party on workers' rights and progressive taxation, and close to zero on pro-business and tough-on-crime measures, placing her firmly on Labour's left.
She sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, which helps explain her engagement with the social media age-restriction debate. Her constituency news coverage over the past 90 days is dominated by crime and local government stories in which she does not feature directly; her average news score is close to zero, suggesting limited local press profile. Her deviations from party norms on pension protection and parliamentary scrutiny are statistically notable but not yet tied to specific high-profile votes in the available data.
