Caroline Johnson.

A paediatrician by background, Caroline Johnson has broken with her Conservative colleagues twice on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill — supporting both its Second Reading in November 2024 and its Third Reading in March 2025. Those were her only rebel votes in nearly 600 divisions, but they are striking ones: the party majority voted against the Bill both times, making her medical career the obvious explanation for her position. Away from tobacco, she has been a consistent opposition voice, blocking trade union balloting reforms, opposing planning delegation to officers, and supporting Conservative attempts to derail the Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading.

Johnson votes with her party on 99.5% of divisions, making her one of the most loyally Conservative MPs in the Commons. Her 70% participation rate sits somewhat below the Commons average. She votes against workers' rights measures in almost every case, opposes progressive taxation entirely, and backs parliamentary and Lords scrutiny at very high rates. Her speech record — 1,280 contributions across 230 debates — is substantial, with health and social care her dominant topics, consistent with her clinical background. She sits on the Education Committee.

Her most prominent recent coverage concerns a constituency crime case: she wrote to the Attorney General arguing that a sentence handed to a driver who killed two teenagers was unduly lenient. The Court of Appeal subsequently increased it. She has also campaigned against solar farm developments in her constituency and lobbied for accessibility improvements at Sleaford station. No news sentiment data is available for the most recent 90-day period.
