Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Morecambe, Heysham and Bolton-le-Sands. Population 107,276, notably older (median age 48 vs 41 nationally). Median income £26K (below average).

Collinge's most significant act in the current Parliament was breaking with her party on welfare reform. On 1 July 2025, she voted against the government's Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill at Second Reading -- one of a handful of Labour MPs to do so -- and backed a cross-party amendment designed to block the bill entirely. Her voting data reinforces this stance: she scores 33% on pro-disability-benefits measures against her party's 12%, a 21-percentage-point gap that marks her out as notably more protective of welfare recipients than most Labour colleagues. She also faces scrutiny closer to home: in May 2025, police were reported to be reviewing undeclared election funds from her 2024 campaign, with her office declining to comment on reported inconsistencies in spending declarations.

Beyond that welfare rebellion, Collinge is a largely loyal Labour MP -- a 99.5% party-line voter across 388 of 488 votes (80% participation, modestly below the Commons average). Her speeches skew heavily toward social care, the economy, local government, and health. She sits on the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee, though her voting record on climate action (46% aligned with pro-climate positions) is notably mixed. She scores 0% on pro-NHS-funding votes, a 41-point gap below her party's average, and consistently votes against Lords scrutiny and parliamentary oversight measures.
