Redcar.
Labour and Co-operative Party MP Anna Turley holds the seat on 41.0% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
Turley's most visible recent work has been constituency-level advocacy rather than parliamentary rebellion. She was credited by the chairman of the Ensus biofuel plant as "really instrumental" in securing a £100m government grant to reopen the mothballed Teesside facility, preserving local jobs. She has also launched a campaign to restore Redcar's pier as part of a wider regeneration push. In Parliament, she voted against her party twice on the assisted dying bill -- supporting amendments to strengthen guidance requirements and tighten advertising restrictions -- and broke ranks again in June to oppose a government package of Crime and Policing Bill measures on new clauses covering begging, abuse of emergency workers, and concealment offences.
At 85% voting participation, Turley is broadly in line with Commons norms, and at 99.3% party alignment she is a reliable Labour vote. Her speeches cluster around the economy, jobs, local government, and cost of living -- consistent with representing a post-industrial constituency. Two deviations stand out in her voting profile: she is significantly more aligned with pension protection measures than the Labour average (100% vs 46%), and notably less aligned on NHS funding votes (0% vs 40%), though the underlying vote counts are small enough to treat both figures cautiously.
The strongest context for interpreting her record is geography. Redcar's industrial heritage -- steel, chemicals, energy -- runs through her speech topics and her most prominent news coverage. The 112 news articles from the past 90 days are dominated by crime, culture, and transport coverage that carries near-zero MP scores, suggesting most local news is not directly tied to her activity. No committee memberships are recorded, limiting her influence to the chamber floor and constituency casework.
