Thurrock.

Jen Craft's most significant recent move was voting against the assisted dying bill at Third Reading in June 2025 -- one of five rebel votes she cast that day, all breaking with the Labour majority on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. She backed stricter safeguards on amendments covering voluntary stopping of eating and drinking, while opposing the bill's final passage. That pattern fits her broader profile: she sits on the Health and Social Care Committee and votes above her party's average on NHS funding, end-of-life autonomy, and assisted dying safeguards, suggesting a consistent, health-focused approach to this legislation rather than simple opposition.

Outside that rebellion, Craft is a 97% party-line voter who participates in 83% of votes -- close to the Commons average. Her 202 contributions span social care, health, and local government, with economy and education also featuring regularly. She scores strongly on workers' rights and progressive taxation votes, and near-zero on pro-business and parliamentary scrutiny dimensions, tracking closely with the Labour mainstream. She supported tighter asylum support rules in April 2026 and backed the government's King's Speech without dissent.

The constituency picture is active: Craft has raised Thurrock's inclusion in a national playground upgrade scheme for disabled children, made the case for Thameside Theatre in the Commons, and pressed Network Rail publicly over a long-delayed station lift. Her drawn-on experience as a parent of a disabled child has surfaced repeatedly in her advocacy. Local news coverage is broadly neutral over the past 90 days, with no strongly negative stories. Committee membership on Health and Social Care gives her a formal platform for the health and care themes that dominate her speech record.
