Labour and Co-operative Party MP for Oxford East.

Anneliese Dodds's most distinctive parliamentary act in the past year has been her consistent opposition to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — voting against it at Third Reading in June 2025, and backing several tightening amendments at Report Stage. This puts her firmly in the minority within her own party: Labour MPs supported assisted dying access at a rate of 58%, while Dodds voted with the restrictive position on every occasion. That is her only area of sustained rebellion; elsewhere she votes with Labour in 98.4% of divisions.
Her participation rate of 77% sits below the Commons average, though she is an active speaker — 606 contributions across 111 debates, with defence, the economy, and community issues dominating her speeches. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, but notably low scores on civil liberties (16%), parliamentary scrutiny (20%), and Lords scrutiny (0%), suggesting she broadly backs the government's legislative programme and its approach to limiting amendment. She deviates from her party average on fossil fuel subsidies — opposing them more consistently than most Labour colleagues — and on armed forces welfare, where she votes for stronger provisions more often than the party norm.
In Oxford East, her visible local activity has centred on transport — championing the Cowley Branch Line reopening and criticising the county's congestion charge as "extremely unfair" — alongside cultural causes including a new Oxford United stadium and a campaign to save a local cinema. News coverage over the past 90 days is broadly neutral in tone. She holds no committee seats, and no financial or other interests data is included here.
The Rt Hon Anneliese Dodds is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Oxford East, and has been an MP continually since 8 June 2017.
