Weald of Kent.

Lam drew sharp national attention in October 2025 when she called for legally settled families to be deported in the name of making Britain "culturally coherent" -- remarks condemned by civil rights groups and reported critically by the Morning Star. Since then, her public profile has been more mixed: she was specifically credited in March 2026 with pushing for stronger terms of reference in the grooming gangs inquiry, meeting directly with Baroness Longfield's team to raise victims' concerns. She has also lobbied her local council over a pub taxi service and backed a campaign for a new secondary school in the constituency following the closure of High Weald Academy.

A 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes, Lam votes consistently against the government -- backing opposition amendments to the King's Speech, supporting the referral of Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee, and acting as a teller against the government's power to direct pension fund investments. Her voting profile is strongly pro-business (92%), anti-tax (87%), tough on crime (86%) and almost entirely opposed to workers' rights measures (8%). Her 246 contributions across 111 debates put her above average for engagement, with crime, immigration, and defence dominating her speeches. Her participation rate of 69% sits slightly below the Commons average.

Lam sits on the Transport Committee, though transport features rarely in her reported speech activity. The slight divergence from her party on armed forces welfare (-11 percentage points below the Conservative average) and assisted dying (-8 points) is modest but worth noting. News sentiment over the past 90 days averages near-neutral across 54 articles, with immigration coverage pulling in opposite directions depending on outlet. Voting and speech data are available from her election in July 2024.
