Mary Creagh.

Coventry East's MP has been most visible recently on assisted dying — and she broke firmly with her party on it. On 20 June 2025, Mary Creagh voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading, putting her among the minority of Labour MPs who opposed the legislation's final Commons passage. Her voting pattern across that day's divisions shows consistent scepticism: she backed New Clause 16, which would have barred applications driven by fear of burdening others or by disability and financial pressures, and opposed government-backed amendments that tightened the bill's recording requirements. Her assisted dying stance sits 47 percentage points below her party's average on access, and 33 points above it on restrictions — the sharpest deviations in her voting record.

Beyond that, Creagh is a 96.7% party-line voter, but her participation rate of 65% sits below the Commons average. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with fiscal responsibility and progressive taxation, but low scores on civil liberties, parliamentary scrutiny, and Lords oversight — suggesting she generally backs government authority over amendment-driven checks. Her 291 speech contributions skew heavily toward environment (68 debates), local government, and agriculture. That reflects her ministerial role: she serves as Nature Minister at DEFRA, and recent news coverage — averaging positively on environment issues — places her leading wildlife conservation announcements.

Locally, Creagh has championed the Coventry--Leicester rail link, engaged the Police Federation on crime, and used specific constituency data to argue for the two-child benefit cap removal. Her news coverage is broadly positive where it is substantive, though a large share of recent articles score neutrally. No select committee memberships are recorded, consistent with her ministerial position. Parliamentary data covers her from July 2024.
