Nottingham South.
Labour Party MP Lilian Greenwood holds the seat on 47.4% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
A road safety minister turned backbencher -- Greenwood was appointed to a junior transport role in August 2024 before returning to the backbenches, and transport remains the dominant thread of her parliamentary work. She has voted to tighten asylum support rules by backing regulations allowing the withdrawal of accommodation from asylum seekers found working illegally, and voted against referring the Prime Minister to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment controversy. Neither vote broke from Labour's position: she has no rebel votes on record and votes with the party 100% of the time. Recent constituency activity includes visiting Nottingham's ACES eye clinic, attending a new social housing opening in Clifton, and championing free school breakfast clubs -- visible local engagement, though largely presenting government policy rather than independently securing wins.
Her parliamentary record is dominated by transport, which accounts for 96 of 354 contributions across 99 debates. Local government and economy-jobs follow at distance. At 77% voting participation she sits slightly below the Commons average but is clearly active in debate. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, while she sits notably below the party average on NHS funding votes and above it on armed forces welfare -- a gap of over 40 points in each direction worth watching.
One data quirk: news coverage over the past 90 days runs to 61 articles, but the average sentiment score is near zero, driven largely by policing and crime stories where her name appears in passing rather than as a central figure. Transport coverage carries a meaningfully positive score, reflecting her ministerial background. Committee membership is limited to the procedural Committee of Selection. Speech and voting data are available through May 2026.
