Labour Party MP in Conservative and Unionist Party-controlled territory.

Feryal Clark's most consistent act of parliamentary rebellion has been opposing the Assisted Dying Bill at every stage — Second Reading in November 2024, Report Stage in May 2025, and Third Reading in June 2025 — placing her among the minority of Labour MPs who voted against the bill throughout. Her stance puts her 58 percentage points below her party's average on assisted dying access, the sharpest deviation in her voting profile. Beyond that single issue, she has attracted attention for calling current gambling laws "indefensible" in a Commons debate, citing 30 gambling venues in Enfield North, and for co-chairing an all-party group pushing for official recognition of online creators and influencers — a campaign that reached the Culture Secretary.

At 55% voting participation, Clark sits well below the Commons average, though ministers and those with heavy committee loads routinely score lower. Where she does vote, she follows the Labour line 98.4% of the time. Her speeches — 90 contributions across 32 debates in the past year — cluster around technology, the economy, and health, consistent with an honorary degree she received for contributions to health science and innovation. She scores at or near 100% on progressive taxation, housing development, and business rates reform, but low on parliamentary scrutiny (20%) and civil liberties (21%), broadly in line with the government payroll tendency.

Local coverage in the Enfield Dispatch is high-volume but largely neutral in tone: 56 articles in 90 days, dominated by crime and knife-crime reporting (27 and 5 articles respectively, both averaging near zero sentiment). More positive coverage tracks her campaigns on bus routes and constituent surgeries. She holds no select committee seat, which limits one avenue for detailed legislative scrutiny. No government ministerial role is recorded in the data provided.
