Nuneaton.
Labour Party MP Jodie Gosling holds the seat on 36.9% of the vote — a split-council geography across 2 councils.
1 Jun 2026
A steady, loyalist first-term MP, Jodie Gosling has used Parliament primarily as a platform for constituency advocacy rather than ideological positioning. Her most visible recent act came in April 2026, when she raised attacks on staff at Nuneaton's George Eliot Hospital in the Commons and secured a public condemnation from Keir Starmer, alongside government investment in a diagnostic centre expansion. She has also lobbied successfully for transport funding linked to a local station reopening, organised a petition against the removal of a Nuneaton fire engine, and championed a supported internship programme for SEND learners at North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College.
Her voting participation sits at 73% -- below the Commons average -- and she has not once broken with her party across 374 recorded votes, making her a 100% party-line voter. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, and near-zero alignment with Lords scrutiny or parliamentary oversight -- consistent with a government loyalist during active ping-pong on legislation including the Pension Schemes Bill, Children's Wellbeing Bill, and the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. She deviates from her Labour colleagues most notably on football regulation (significantly less supportive) and assisted dying (slightly less sympathetic to both safeguards and patient autonomy).
Her 63 contributions span local government, the economy, education, and social care -- topics that mirror Nuneaton's priorities rather than a specialist policy agenda. She holds no committee seats. Local news coverage is high-volume but broadly neutral in tone, dominated by crime and transport stories. Overall, she is a constituency-focused backbencher with no rebel record and a limited footprint beyond her local patch.
