Lewisham West and East Dulwich.

Ellie Reeves's most visible recent work has been as Solicitor General, where she has repeatedly referred unduly lenient sentences to the Court of Appeal -- securing longer terms for rapists, a violent attacker, and a double murderer in cases covered across around 40 crime-related news articles in the past 90 days. That ministerial role, not her constituency work, is driving her public profile right now. In Parliament, she has voted with Labour on tightening asylum support rules, backing the government's reserve power over pension fund investment, and opposing the opposition's attempt to refer Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee.

A 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes since entering Parliament in 2017, Reeves sits towards the loyalist end of the Labour benches. Her 59% voting participation -- below the Commons average -- is typical of ministers whose time is divided between government work and the chamber. Her speeches skew toward economy and jobs, crime, and social care, with 213 contributions across 43 debates. On the stances that deviate from her Labour colleagues, she leans somewhat more sceptical of assisted dying than the party average and scores notably higher on parliamentary scrutiny, though her overall voting record shows strong alignment with the government on Lords oversight and employer National Insurance.

Her legal background -- she is a former barrister -- directly informs her Solicitor General role and explains the consistent focus on criminal justice in both her speeches and her news coverage. She sits on no select committees, which is standard for ministers. Speech data runs to March 2026; voting data extends to late April 2026, giving a reasonably current picture of her parliamentary activity.
