Anna Gelderd.

A steady Labour loyalist with an active local profile, Gelderd has voted with her party on every recorded division — 100% alignment across 388 votes. Her recent record includes backing extended employment tribunal time limits, supporting the removal of the academy presumption in school openings, and voting for streamlined planning delegation on smaller housing sites. She has not rebelled once since entering Parliament in 2024.

Her 68% voting participation sits below the Commons average, though this is not unusual among newer backbenchers without committee roles. Her stance profile marks her as consistently pro-worker and fiscally orthodox, with near-zero alignment on civil liberties, business-friendly measures, and Lords scrutiny — a pattern typical of the 2024 Labour intake. Where she diverges from her parliamentary colleagues, the gaps are telling: she votes more strongly than the average Labour MP on assisted dying access (86% vs 58%), public health, child welfare, and local democracy. She speaks frequently on economy and jobs, defence, and environmental issues, with agriculture also featuring — relevant for a rural South West seat.

Her highest-profile recent coverage centres on constituency work rather than Westminster drama: lobbying on hospital waiting lists, championing a Cornish Language Bill, intervening in a local planning dispute, and welcoming a rail fare freeze worth over £52,000 in savings to Liskeard commuters alone. No committee memberships are recorded, which limits her formal parliamentary leverage. News sentiment data from the past 90 days is broadly neutral across 13 articles, with no significant negative coverage. The picture is of an energetic local advocate who, at Westminster, votes reliably with the government line.
