Claire Hazelgrove.

Filton and Bradley Stoke's MP broke from Labour in June 2025, voting for additional safeguards in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill — one of the few occasions she has departed from the party line. Her stance on assisted dying is the most distinctive feature of her voting record: she scores noticeably higher than Labour peers on supporting access to assisted dying, yet also backed added restrictions, reflecting genuine ambivalence on one of the Parliament's most contested conscience votes. More recently she voted with Labour on the full package of climate legislation in late June 2026, backing statutory carbon budgets, the inclusion of aviation and shipping in net-zero targets, and the steel import tariff — a vote with direct relevance to her constituency, which sits at the heart of the UK aerospace and defence corridor around Filton.

At 90% voting participation and 99.8% party alignment, Hazelgrove is an active, largely loyal backbencher. She has no committee seat. Her 58 speech contributions span economy and jobs, local government, health, education and housing — a broad portfolio that tracks constituency concerns rather than a single specialist brief. Her stance scores show strong alignment with progressive taxation and fiscal responsibility, but low alignment with parliamentary scrutiny and civil liberties measures, consistent with a government loyalist who prioritises delivery over process.

Local news coverage paints a picture of energetic constituency work: she secured NHS dental slots for South Gloucestershire and championed a constituent's campaign to reform school admissions policy for seriously ill children, arranging a ministerial meeting and raising the issue in Parliament. Crime dominates recent local coverage (34 of 60 articles in the past 90 days), though her direct profile in that coverage appears limited. No negative coverage of her performance was identified in the data.
