Abtisam Mohamed.

Abtisam Mohamed broke with Labour five times over the welfare bill, making her one of the more consistent rebel voices on disability benefits among her intake. On 1 July and again on 9 July 2025, she voted against the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill at Second Reading, Third Reading, and on two key clauses — opposing cuts to the health top-up for new claimants and backing amendments to extend protections to people with fluctuating conditions such as Parkinson's and MS. These votes place her 59 percentage points above her party's average on opposing disability benefit cuts, the sharpest deviation in her profile.

Beyond the welfare rebellion, Mohamed is a 98% party-line voter and participates in 66% of divisions — below the Commons average. Her 98 parliamentary contributions span defence, the economy, social care, and cost of living; she also secured coverage by holding Yorkshire Water to account over leaks and flooding in Sheffield, and successfully lobbied — alongside local campaigners — for the government to reverse a plan to overturn a Sheffield council referendum result. Her stance data shows consistent support for progressive taxation and housing development, but low alignment with Lords scrutiny and parliamentary scrutiny positions, suggesting she broadly backs government procedure.

Her seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, combined with her background as the UK's first Yemeni-heritage MP, frames her early pledges on Gaza and ceasefire advocacy — though no recent committee output is included in the available data. Local news over the past 90 days is dominated by culture and sport coverage with near-zero sentiment scores, suggesting limited negative or positive press in that period. Voting data is comprehensive; speech-level detail is partial.
