Emma Foody.

Foody's most visible achievement since entering Parliament has been the Moor Farm roundabout — a congested junction in her constituency she raised in Parliament over 50 times, secured debates on, and lobbied ministers about directly, including the Chancellor. In March 2026, the government confirmed the upgrade would proceed as part of the Road Investment Strategy, with the Transport Secretary explicitly crediting her "tireless advocacy." On assisted dying, she voted to tighten advertising restrictions in the Terminally Ill Adults Bill — backing an amendment that would have written permitted exceptions into the legislation rather than leaving them to ministerial discretion — placing her among MPs who want less executive flexibility on the issue.

Foody votes with Labour 99.8% of the time, making her single rebel vote notable by exception. Her 83% participation rate sits modestly below the Commons average. Economy and jobs dominate her speeches (62 contributions), followed by local government, health, and fiscal policy — a profile consistent with a new MP focused on constituency and regional priorities rather than national controversy. Her voting record shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, and she runs 31 percentage points ahead of her party on assisted dying access — a meaningful divergence on a conscience vote.

She holds no committee seats, which limits her formal scrutiny role — reflected in a 17% alignment score on parliamentary scrutiny votes, where she has consistently backed the government timetabling and resisting opposition amendments. Local news coverage over the past 90 days runs heavily on transport, driven almost entirely by the roundabout campaign. Voting data covers 547 divisions since July 2024; speech records are drawn from Hansard up to June 2026.
