Rutland and Stamford.

Kearns made headlines in June 2025 by backing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading -- one of five rebel votes she cast that day against the Conservative majority position on assisted dying. Her votes placed her among a minority of Tory MPs who supported the bill's passage to the Lords, while also backing amendments aimed at closing the voluntary-stopping-eating-and-drinking loophole. That rebellion is her most visible departure from party line in the data, though her voting record shows she sits below her party average on both assisted-dying access and end-of-life autonomy measures more broadly.

At 65% participation -- below the Commons average -- Kearns is selective in which votes she attends, though her 95.8% party alignment means she votes with the Conservatives when she does show up. Her speech activity tells a more distinctive story: defence dominates at 39 contributions, followed closely by economy and jobs, with social care, local government and crime also featuring regularly. She scores 100% on pro-lords-scrutiny votes and 88% on parliamentary scrutiny, suggesting a consistent interest in institutional checks. She deviates from her party most sharply on public health, backing it far more consistently than the Conservative average.

Local coverage paints a notably constituency-focused MP: her five-year campaign to pass Benedict's Law -- legislation addressing child safety in schools, prompted by the death of a Stamford five-year-old -- concluded in a government commitment in March 2026. She also raised a local pub crisis at PMQs and secured a ministerial meeting over Rutland's county status dispute. She sits on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. News sentiment over the past 90 days averages 0.43 out of 1, with coverage spread across economy, crime, health and local government.
