West Worcestershire.

Harriett Baldwin has been voting consistently against the government on a cluster of high-profile bills this month. She backed referring Prime Minister Starmer to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson appointment, opposed the government's attempt to restore a reserve power directing pension fund investments -- a provision the Lords had stripped out three times -- and repeatedly sided with the Lords against the government on the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. On the Pension Schemes Bill she argued the reserve power risks poor returns for pensioners and represents inappropriate state interference; her voting pattern on the devolution bill fits a consistent alignment with Lords scrutiny, where her record is 100% in favour.

At 72% participation, she sits somewhat below the Commons average, though her 294 contributions across 168 debates suggest selective but active engagement when she does show up. She is a 100% party-line voter -- no rebel votes in the current data -- and her stance profile reflects standard Conservative priorities: strongly pro-business (90%), anti-tax-increase (85%), and tough on crime (82%). Her speeches cluster around the economy, fiscal policy, and defence, consistent with her seat on the Treasury Committee. She is notably more open to criminal justice reform than her party average.

Locally, she has been vocal on constituent concerns: lobbying the Competition and Markets Authority over heating oil and LPG price spikes in rural West Worcestershire, pressing ministers on flood defences, and supporting veterans' mental health services. News coverage over the past 90 days is high-volume but near-neutral in tone across 49 articles, dominated by local crime and community issues. Voting data covers 515 divisions; speech data runs to April 2026.
