Charlotte Cane.

Cane has broken with the Liberal Democrats twice since 2024 — once to back a devolution-focused amendment on assisted dying, and once to support reviving the Royal Albert Hall Bill — but otherwise votes with her party 99.5% of the time. More visibly, she has spent much of the past year campaigning on local infrastructure and health: she co-signed cross-party letters pushing for the Ely Junction rail upgrade, launched a hospice petition that gathered over 15,000 signatures, and held roundtables with local publicans warning that business rate cuts were a "last chance" for some firms. Her activity on the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, where she served as a teller for one amendment, suggests she is also engaged on accountability reform beyond purely local concerns.

Her parliamentary participation rate is 69%, somewhat below the Commons average. Voting data shows consistent opposition to the government's fiscal agenda and limited alignment with Labour on workers' rights or progressive taxation — both typical Lib Dem stances. She scores strongly on parliamentary scrutiny (90%), Lords scrutiny (95%), welfare (94%), and civil liberties (79%), and sits above her party average on parliamentary accountability by 20 percentage points. Her 104 speech contributions span local government, the economy, social care, health, education, and the environment, reflecting a broad constituency casework focus rather than a single specialist interest.

Cane sits on the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, which handles government accountability and constitutional questions — a good fit given her voting pattern on scrutiny issues. Local news coverage over the past 90 days has centred on culture, sport, and planning rather than the health and transport issues that dominated her earlier press. Structured voting and speech data are available from July 2024 onwards; longer trend analysis is not yet possible given she has been an MP for just over two years.
