Eshalomi broke with the Labour majority five times on 20 June 2025, all on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Her votes consistently pushed for tighter safeguards -- backing amendments to close a loophole that could allow self-starvation to qualify someone as terminally ill, and supporting procedural moves to ensure continuity of independent medical assessments. Her deviations from the party average on end-of-life autonomy (+22 percentage points) and assisted dying safeguards (+16 points) suggest a considered, if not straightforwardly pro or anti, position on the legislation. Beyond that, she voted with the government on all recent key votes, including rejecting several Lords amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill.

At 71% voting participation -- slightly below the Commons average -- Eshalomi is a regular but not exceptional attender. She votes with Labour 96.7% of the time, making her assisted dying interventions stand out as the main exception. Her speech record shows 226 contributions across 139 debates, with local government, social care, and housing dominating. She chairs the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, a role she won in September 2024, and co-chairs the APPG for London's productivity inquiry. Her background in London Assembly politics and personal experience of housing insecurity inform a consistent focus on tenant rights and the housing crisis.

Her news coverage over the past 90 days spans 50 articles, averaging a near-neutral sentiment score across housing, crime, health, and education issues -- no strong pattern of positive or negative press. Committee work generates most of her public profile. Local casework is visible too: she raised the threat to specific Post Office branches in her constituency directly in Parliament. Data on her speech content is available; granular local polling or approval figures are not.
