Aligned with their council.

A minister turned backbencher, Lilian Greenwood has voted with Labour on every recorded division since the 2024 election — 100% party alignment across 424 votes. Her recent activity includes backing the full package of climate legislation on 24 June, supporting new statutory carbon budgets, bringing aviation and shipping within the Climate Change Act's scope, and endorsing limits on international carbon credits. She also acted as a government teller on defence spending votes the day before, organising the Labour side in the lobbies.

Greenwood's participation rate of 76% sits somewhat below the Commons average. Her speeches — 362 contributions across 101 debates — concentrate heavily on transport (98 debates) and local government (50), reflecting a genuine policy specialism built over years as shadow transport minister and, from August 2024, as a road safety minister. Her stance profile marks her as strongly aligned with workers' rights and progressive taxation, and consistently opposed to tax cuts and Lords scrutiny. She deviates from her Labour colleagues most notably on assisted dying, where she votes for access at a rate 31 percentage points above the party average.

Local coverage over the past 90 days runs to 47 articles but averages close to neutral in tone, dominated by policing and culture stories in which Greenwood appears as a local figure rather than a driving force. Transport coverage — where her footprint is strongest — carries a mildly positive average score. Her committee role is limited to the procedural Committee of Selection. No rebel votes appear in the available data, making her one of the more consistently loyal MPs on the government benches.

Background

Lilian Greenwood is the Labour MP for Nottingham South, and has been an MP continually since 6 May 2010. She currently holds the Government posts of Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport), and Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury.
