Tipton and Wednesbury.

Antonia Bance has been most visible in Parliament on assisted dying. On 20 June 2025, she broke with most Labour MPs across five separate votes on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, consistently backing amendments that would close the voluntary starvation loophole -- opposing two government-backed amendments and supporting two alternatives -- placing her among the more restrictive voices on the bill's eligibility criteria. Beyond that, she has been active on local economic issues: joining MPs in writing to government over JLR supply chain jobs, raising taxi licensing standards in Parliament and securing a ministerial commitment on reform, and successfully lobbying for a significant increase in SEND funding for Sandwell.

At 70% voting participation, she sits noticeably below the Commons average. Where she does vote, she follows the Labour line 97% of the time -- a reliable party-line MP outside of conscience votes. Her speeches, spread across 149 contributions in 74 debates, cluster heavily around economy and jobs, the labour market, fiscal policy, and social care, with a secondary focus on local government and cost of living. Her stance data shows she votes consistently for progressive taxation and workers' rights, but scores low on welfare expansion, civil liberties, and parliamentary scrutiny -- broadly in line with the government's current direction.

Her seat on the Business and Trade Committee, and its economic security sub-committee, gives her a platform on precisely the issues she raises most: local industrial employment and trade exposure. Her trade union background -- she was a senior official at Unison -- appears to shape her focus on workers and public services rather than business interests (she scores just 6% on pro-business stances). News coverage is predominantly local and recent data from the past 90 days carries a neutral average score, suggesting steady rather than controversial constituency coverage.
