Plaid Cymru MP in Independent-controlled territory.

Medi's most prominent recent work has been a sustained parliamentary push for a new nuclear power station at Wylfa, on Ynys Môn's northern coast. She has organised cross-party roundtables, tabled amendments, and repeatedly pressed ministers for a government commitment — describing the project as "a no-brainer" for the island's economy. Alongside that, she has challenged the UK Government over rural exclusion from flagship economic schemes and joined campaigning for WASPI women affected by state pension changes. Her voting record in June 2026 shows engagement with both the Armed Forces Bill and the National Security (State Threats) Bill, where she opposed amendments that would have added judicial oversight provisions, aligning with the government's preferred text.

At 56% voting participation, Medi votes less frequently than the Commons average, though that figure may partly reflect Welsh devolution reducing the relevance of some England-only legislation. Where she does vote, she is a 100% party-line Plaid Cymru voter with no rebel votes on record. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and welfare expansion, and consistent scepticism of fiscal tightening and pro-business measures. Economy, energy, and environment dominate her 120 parliamentary contributions, reflecting the Wylfa campaign and broader Welsh economic concerns.

Medi sits on the Welsh Affairs Committee, which shapes her focus on local-government and rural policy questions. She deviates from her party's average in being notably more consistent on public health votes and marginally more supportive of welfare expansion. No recent news coverage carries a strong positive or negative sentiment score over the past 90 days — her local press is active but broadly neutral in tone. Speech data runs to January 2026; voting data extends to June 2026.
