Shipley.

Dixon's most distinctive recent moves came on the assisted dying bill in June 2025, where she broke from Labour on five separate votes. She backed amendments to prevent voluntary starvation from qualifying someone as terminally ill, and opposed an amendment Labour majority supported on the same question -- suggesting a nuanced position focused on tightening eligibility criteria and strengthening safeguards rather than simple opposition or support for the bill itself. Her deviation scores back this up: she sits notably above her party on end-of-life autonomy (+22 percentage points) and assisted dying safeguards (+20pp). Beyond that, she has voted with Labour almost uniformly, including backing tighter asylum support rules and opposing the Privileges Committee referral of Keir Starmer.

At 87% voting participation -- broadly average for the Commons -- Dixon is an engaged but not especially prominent national voice. She votes with Labour 97% of the time, making her a reliable party-liner outside conscience votes. Her speeches concentrate heavily on social care (79 contributions) and health (72), which reflects her professional background: she spent over 30 years working in health and social care policy before entering Parliament. She is notably low on pension protection votes compared to her party (-26pp), and consistently backs workers' rights (92%) and progressive taxation (97%).

Locally, Dixon has received positive coverage for championing leasehold reform and energy efficiency housing upgrades in Shipley, and has actively lobbied for transport improvements in the constituency. A critical reader letter accused her of glossing over detail on rail timelines, reflecting some constituent frustration at perceived party loyalty over scrutiny -- a charge her voting record gives limited reason to dismiss entirely. She sits on the Public Accounts Committee, giving her a formal role in holding government spending to account.
