Maya Ellis.

Ellis voted against assisted dying at every stage on 20 June 2025 — one of the clearest rebellions in the Commons that day. She opposed the bill at Third Reading, voted against amendments requiring a palliative care assessment in annual reporting, and backed two restrictive safeguard clauses that her own party rejected. Her voting pattern on assisted dying sits 47 percentage points below the Labour average on access to the procedure and 21 points above it on outright opposition, making her a consistent and committed opponent of the legislation rather than a reluctant abstainer.

Beyond that rebellion, Ellis is a 96.5% party-line voter who participates in 65% of votes — below the Commons average. She backs progressive taxation in every recorded vote and scores strongly on workers' rights and fiscal responsibility. Her speeches cluster around the economy, health, and local government, and her stance profile shows limited alignment with parliamentary scrutiny, civil liberties, or Lords oversight positions — suggesting she prioritises delivery over process. She sits on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, which aligns with her speech activity on local government and housing.

Local news coverage paints a constituency-focused picture: she has publicly backed a campaign to save a hospital ward, championed the A582 road upgrade after repeated ministerial contact, hosted a Westminster meeting for Lancashire businesses, and called for a parliamentary debate on a four-day working week. Recent news over the past 90 days skews toward crime and housing stories, though average sentiment across those articles is neutral rather than strongly positive or negative. Her speech record through July 2026 is active; voting data covers up to the same period.
