Mims Davies.

A reliable Conservative vote who broke ranks once — backing the generational tobacco ban at second reading in November 2024, against her party's majority. That single rebel vote aside, Davies votes with the Conservatives 99.8% of the time, opposing Labour's employment, planning, and education measures in lockstep with her party. Locally, she has been visible: she campaigned for a banking hub in East Grinstead, challenged South East Water's leadership in writing after supply disruptions, and secured a parliamentary debate when Uckfield Hospital's day surgery unit was threatened with closure — though the unit closed regardless.

Davies participates in 78% of votes, roughly in line with the Commons average. Her stance profile marks her as strongly pro-business, anti-tax, and tough on crime — all consistent with Conservative orthodoxy. She deviates from her party colleagues in two directions worth noting: she scores 16 percentage points above the Conservative average on local democracy, and 14 points below on assisted dying access, suggesting she leans more restrictive than most of her colleagues on end-of-life legislation. Her 190 parliamentary contributions span economy and jobs, social care, health, and local government — a broad spread with no single commanding specialism.

She holds no committee seats at present. Her recent news coverage, while modest in volume, clusters around constituency casework — utilities, housing, transport — rather than national policy debates. The high-impact stories all involve direct advocacy on local issues, which aligns with her speech topics. Voting data covers 570 divisions since the 2024 general election; news sentiment data draws on 11 articles from the past 90 days.
