Tooting.

Allin-Khan broke with her party on welfare in July 2025, voting against the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill at both Second and Third Reading -- among the most significant Labour rebellions of this parliament. She also backed Amendment 38, which would have protected disabled people with fluctuating conditions while the government's PIP review remained incomplete, a position roughly 59 percentage points more protective of disability benefits than her average Labour colleague. She additionally voted against the assisted dying bill at Third Reading, placing her 48 points below her party's average on that issue. Both rebellions drew on her medical background: she is a practising A&E doctor who has continued NHS shifts alongside parliamentary work and worked on the Ukraine aid effort in 2022.

Her parliamentary participation rate is low -- 30%, well below the Commons average -- but her voting record, where it exists, shows consistent alignment with Labour on progressive taxation, workers' rights, and climate action. Her speeches, spread across 67 contributions in 41 debates, concentrate on defence, the economy, social care, and local government. She deviates from party norms most sharply on welfare and criminal justice, voting more expansively on both than most Labour MPs.

Local campaigning fills much of her visible activity: she has led a Safe Space scheme for Tooting businesses, campaigned for step-free access at Tooting Broadway station (drawing over 1,300 signatures), and received positive press for constituency work on crime and transport. Recent local news coverage across 28 articles averages a neutral sentiment score. She sits on the Panel of Chairs. Voting data covers 521 divisions; her low participation rate means many positions cannot be inferred from the available record.
