Thornbury and Yate.

Consistent with Lib Dem colleagues, Young has spent recent weeks siding with the House of Lords against the Labour government across several bills -- backing Lords amendments on English devolution, children's education, pensions, and crime legislation during parliamentary ping-pong in April 2026. She has no rebel votes against her own party, so this is orthodox Lib Dem opposition rather than individual dissent. Beyond the chamber, she has been pushing for improvements at Yate station, challenging ministers over "fleecehold" charges affecting homeowners on local estates, and advocating for the dairy sector -- a pattern of active, local-issue casework that has generated steady press coverage.

At 74% voting participation -- somewhat below the Commons average of roughly 80% -- Young is a regular but not constant presence in divisions. She votes solidly with the Liberal Democrats (100% alignment) and her stance profile shows strong support for Lords and parliamentary scrutiny (95--97%), climate action (88%), and business-friendly positions (76%), alongside consistent opposition to the employer National Insurance increase. She speaks frequently: 209 contributions across 175 debates, with economy and jobs, local government, energy, and health dominating. Her voting record sits noticeably below the party average on assisted dying access and safeguards -- around eight percentage points behind -- suggesting a more cautious personal position on that issue.

Young sits on the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee, which helps explain why energy features heavily in her speeches. She has been an MP only since July 2024, so her record covers less than two full parliamentary years. News coverage over the past 90 days is broadly neutral, with transport stories generating the most positive sentiment. Data on her individual speeches is available; full debate transcripts would allow closer examination of her committee contributions.
