Aligned with their council.

Griffiths has been an active constituency campaigner since entering Parliament in 2024, with her most visible recent work focused on local pressure points: organising a packed public meeting where she grilled the Southern Water CEO over water quality, raising the Baltic Klipper environmental incident directly with the Prime Minister at PMQs, and publicly challenging NHS decision-makers over Zachary Merton Hospital. She also launched a local business club to channel employer concerns to ministers — a move that sits alongside her seat on the Business and Trade Committee. In the chamber, she votes a clean Conservative party line with no rebel votes on record.

Her parliamentary participation rate of 74% sits below the Commons average, though her 236 contributions across 108 debates suggest selective but engaged involvement when she does show up. Her voting profile is firmly opposition-minded: 0% alignment with the government agenda and 100% against tax increases. She consistently supports Lords and parliamentary scrutiny, backs business interests (96% aligned), and takes a tougher-than-average Conservative stance on crime and victims' rights. She deviates from her party by voting notably less often in favour of criminal justice reform and assisted dying access, and slightly more often in favour of climate action — a pattern consistent with her Environmental Audit Committee membership.

Her speech activity clusters around economy and jobs, local government, social care, and fiscal policy, reflecting both committee work and constituency priorities in a coastal South East seat. Recent news coverage over the past 90 days has been high-volume but low-impact, dominated by crime and culture stories where her direct involvement is unclear. Her highest-impact coverage came earlier in 2026, on planning, water, and local health — issues where she has made formal submissions or raised questions in Parliament.
