Mansfield.

A steady party-line voter since entering Parliament in 2024, Steve Yemm has used his platform most visibly on local economic issues. He signed a letter of Labour MPs pressing the Transport Secretary over electric vehicle job losses -- a significant concern for Mansfield's manufacturing workforce -- and hosted a parliamentary debate on childhood cancer families, raising specific concerns about postcode lotteries in psychological support and clinical trial access. He holds the role of Parliamentary Champion for Teenage Cancer Trust. A £20m government investment in Mansfield town centre, which Yemm has been publicly promoting and consulting constituents on, has generated positive local coverage.

Yemm votes at 95%, above the Commons average, and has never broken with Labour across 487 recorded votes -- a 100% party-line record. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, social care, local government, and defence. His stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but notably low scores on business-friendly and parliamentary scrutiny votes. He sits markedly above the Labour average on local government powers (+26 percentage points), suggesting a consistent instinct to devolve decisions downward. He votes below the Labour average on assisted dying safeguards and end-of-life autonomy -- two conscience-vote areas where party discipline does not apply.

No committee roles are recorded for Yemm. His news footprint is broad but mostly low-impact: 86 articles in 90 days, with economy and jobs coverage carrying the highest average sentiment. He is a constituency-focused, low-rebellion MP whose parliamentary identity is still forming -- the health and local economy themes in his speeches are the clearest signal of where his priorities lie.
