Staffordshire Moorlands.

Chairing the Home Affairs Committee, Bradley has made headlines in early 2026 by publicly challenging the government over the possible destruction of grooming gangs evidence -- writing directly to the Home Secretary and demanding answers on behalf of victims. That oversight role is the clearest signal of where her parliamentary energy sits. On votes, she has followed the Conservative line without deviation, opposing Labour's King's Speech programme, backing a referral of the Prime Minister to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, and supporting a move to block steel nationalisation.

Her participation rate -- 50% of votes cast -- sits notably below the Commons average, though MPs with heavy committee responsibilities often vote less frequently as scrutiny work absorbs their time. When she does vote, she is a 100% party-line Conservative. Her speech record is weighted heavily toward crime (39 contributions), local government (23), and immigration (17), consistent with her committee brief and constituency casework. On criminal justice reform she sits 55 percentage points more aligned than the Conservative average -- a significant divergence that likely reflects her Home Affairs work. She is also less aligned with her party on immigration control than most Conservative MPs.

Locally, Bradley has been vocal against any proposed merger between Staffordshire Moorlands and Stoke-on-Trent, and she personally supported the reopening of Biddulph Moor Post Office after raising the closure with ministers. News coverage over the past 90 days is high in volume -- 77 articles -- but most transport and crime stories carry neutral scores; her strongest coverage comes from the Home Affairs Committee oversight work. Parliamentary data runs to late April 2026; voting and speech records reflect that cut-off.
