Sevenoaks.

Laura Trott has broken with most of her Conservative colleagues twice on assisted dying, voting for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at both Second and Third Reading -- a consistent personal position on one of Parliament's most contested conscience votes. She also split from the party on abortion, voting against a clause that would have required in-person consultations before abortion medication, while backing separate law-and-order measures the party opposed. These rebel votes are the most distinctive feature of her recent parliamentary record.

Trott votes with the Conservatives 98.4% of the time on whipped divisions, but her participation rate of 47% -- well below the Commons average -- means she is selective about when she appears. On policy, her voting profile is sharply right of centre: she has opposed every employer National Insurance increase, backed Lords scrutiny in virtually every relevant vote, and sits at 95% on tough-on-crime measures. She deviates from her party average by voting harder on crime and softer on armed forces welfare and consumer protection. Her 126 contributions across 51 debates lean heavily toward education and social care, the latter reflecting her background as a former pensions minister under the previous government.

Local news coverage over the past 90 days -- across 83 articles -- has been dominated by crime reporting, though her own coverage skews toward education and local government, where she has been active: she launched a petition against a Sevenoaks school site sale and intervened publicly over an unauthorised encampment, escalating both to ministers. She currently holds no select committee seat. Voting data is drawn from parliamentary records; news sentiment scores reflect automated analysis of coverage tone.
