Warrington South.
Labour and Co-operative Party MP Sarah Hall holds the seat on 46.7% of the vote.
1 Jun 2026
A steady party-line MP who has drawn attention through constituency casework rather than parliamentary rebellions, Sarah Hall has not voted against Labour once since entering Parliament in 2024. Her most recent votes -- backing tighter asylum support rules and opposing the referral of Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee -- both followed the government whip without deviation. A 100% party alignment record across 402 votes marks her as one of Labour's most disciplined members.
Her 78% voting participation sits close to the Commons average. Speeches, of which she has made 75 across 45 debates, cluster around local government, the economy, jobs, health, and social care -- a mix that reflects bread-and-butter constituency concerns in Warrington South. Her voting profile shows a notable divergence from Labour colleagues on pension protection, where she votes in favour at a rate 54 percentage points above the party average, and she scores well below her party on assisted dying safeguards and end-of-life autonomy votes. She sits on the Public Accounts Committee, which scrutinises government spending.
Her highest-profile coverage has come from constituency work: advocating for a family bereaved abroad, leading a parliamentary debate on neurodivergent workers in which she disclosed personal experience, and pressing the government on justice for the 1993 Warrington bombing victims. These stories generated strong local and national coverage in late 2025. Broader local news sentiment over the past 90 days is close to neutral across 132 articles, with crime coverage dominating. Speech data runs to March 2026; voting data is current to late April 2026.
