Oxford West and Abingdon.

One of the Liberal Democrats' most prominent MPs right now, Layla Moran chairs the Health and Social Care Committee -- a role that shapes the bulk of her parliamentary activity and gives her a platform well beyond her Oxford West and Abingdon constituency. In her one rebel vote on record, she broke with her party in April 2025 to support tighter restrictions on a government power to share benefit claimants' financial data with banks, arguing the unrestricted power risks wrongly flagging innocent people. Locally, she has been visible on Thames Water's failings -- securing a Westminster Hall debate and lobbying for public ownership -- and on infrastructure, pressing government to fund the replacement of a deteriorating Kennington rail bridge.

At 64% voting participation, she sits below the Commons average, though committee chairs often miss votes due to committee duties. She votes with the Liberal Democrats on 99.7% of divisions -- as close to a party-line voter as the data allows -- and her stance profile shows strong alignment with climate action (86%) and Lords scrutiny (95%), but low alignment with workers' rights measures (25%) and progressive taxation (22%). Her speeches concentrate heavily on health, social care, defence, and the economy, reflecting both her committee brief and broader policy interests.

Her health focus has generated the most news coverage over the past 90 days -- 13 articles with a positive average sentiment -- while her housing advocacy, including raising "wild west" service charges directly at Prime Minister's Questions, drew national BBC coverage in late 2025. She also sits on the Liaison Committee, which scrutinises prime ministerial appearances. Full voting and speech data are available from mid-2024 onwards.
