Aligned with their council.

Hack's most significant break from party lines came on assisted dying. In June 2025, she voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading, defying a Labour majority that backed the bill's passage. Across that day's votes, she opposed two Labour-backed amendments while supporting a tighter safeguard — New Clause 16 — that would have prevented people from qualifying if their wish to die was driven by a desire not to be a burden, financial pressures, or a disability unrelated to their terminal illness. Her voting pattern on this issue is consistent with her stance profile: she sits 25 percentage points below the Labour average on assisted dying access, and above it on assisted dying restrictions and disability rights.

Otherwise, Hack is a steady loyalist. Her 98.2% party alignment places her among the more reliable Labour backbenchers, and her 86% participation rate is solid. Her 173 contributions across 135 debates are spread across economy and jobs, local government, health, social care, and transport — a mix that maps closely onto her seat in North West Leicestershire. She sits on the Work and Pensions Committee, which shapes her focus on welfare and employment issues. One notable divergence: she is 27 percentage points above the Labour average on criminal justice reform, though the underlying vote count is small enough to treat with caution.

Local coverage gives the clearest picture of her constituency work. She secured a parliamentary debate on reviving the Ivanhoe rail line, campaigned against the rejection of a banking hub for a local town, and organised an International Women's Day event. News sentiment data for the most recent 90 days is insufficient for a reliable trend, but the available coverage skews positive and constituency-focused. No committee publications or inquiry outputs are yet available to assess her Work and Pensions contributions in depth.
