Ribble Valley.

Ellis has broken from Labour five times -- all on the same day, all on the same bill. On 20 June 2025, she voted against her party on multiple amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, consistently backing provisions that would close a potential loophole allowing voluntary self-starvation to qualify as terminal illness, and supporting procedural moves to extend safeguards around independent doctor assessments. Her 67% on end-of-life autonomy and 67% on assisted-dying safeguards both sit above her party's averages, suggesting a considered position rather than a protest vote: she broadly supports assisted dying but wants tighter guardrails around eligibility.

Beyond that cluster of rebel votes, Ellis is a 96.2% party-line voter with a 67% participation rate -- below the Commons average -- and a record weighted toward progressive priorities. She scores 97% on progressive taxation and 85% on workers' rights, and called publicly for a four-day working week in December 2025. Her speeches concentrate heavily on economy and jobs, health, and local government -- the top three topics accounting for over 40% of her 83 parliamentary contributions. She sits on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, which maps directly onto her local-government speech activity.

Locally, her most prominent recent action was backing a campaign to restore a closed hospital ward in her Ribble Valley constituency, meeting campaigners and pressing health officials for a public meeting. Earlier coverage credited her with securing government commitments on the A582 road upgrade and pressing ministers on Lancashire business concerns. Her news coverage across 71 articles over 90 days is broadly neutral in tone, with health stories carrying the most positive sentiment. Voting data runs to April 2026; speech data to March 2026.
