North West Leicestershire.
Labour Party MP Amanda Hack holds the seat on 34.7% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
All five of Amanda Hack's rebel votes came on a single day -- 20 June 2025 -- when she broke from Labour's majority on the assisted dying bill. Her votes consistently backed tighter safeguards against abuse of the voluntary starvation loophole, and she was notably more willing than most of her colleagues to support procedural amendments enabling further scrutiny. Her stance profile reflects this pattern: she sits 32 percentage points above Labour's average on pro-assisted-dying-access votes, but equally 31 points below on the anti-assisted-dying measure -- suggesting she supports access to the bill's provisions while favouring stricter eligibility protections. Outside Westminster, she has generated positive local coverage championing the revival of the Ivanhoe railway line and challenging a banking hub rejection in her constituency.
Hack votes with Labour 98% of the time and participated in 85% of divisions -- slightly below the Commons average. Her speeches concentrate heavily on economy and jobs, local government, and health and social care, which aligns with her seat on the Work and Pensions Committee. She votes consistently for progressive taxation (100%) and workers' rights (88%), but registers low alignment on pro-business votes (14%) and shows limited appetite for parliamentary or Lords scrutiny, voting in line with the government against Lords amendments across the board.
Context worth noting: her elevated scores on parliamentary scrutiny relative to party average are driven by the assisted dying votes, not a broader pattern of dissent. Local news coverage over the past 90 days skews positive on economic and constituency service stories, though transport and housing coverage is more neutral. As a 2024 intake MP, her committee work and local campaigning suggest a constituency-focused rather than ideologically conspicuous political style so far.
