Naz Shah.

Naz Shah's most significant recent act was voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at every stage on 20 June 2025 — one of five rebel votes on that single day. She backed New Clause 16, which would have barred assisted dying where the wish to die was substantially driven by disability, mental illness, financial hardship, or fear of being a burden; she voted against the Bill's Third Reading as it passed to the Lords. On assisted dying, she sits 47 percentage points below her party's average in supporting access — the largest deviation in her profile — and 33 points above it on restrictions.

Beyond that rebellion, Shah votes with Labour 96.7% of the time, a loyal record on a participation rate of 65% (roughly mid-table for the Commons). Her stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and housing development, but she votes with the party far less often on climate action (40%), local democracy (32%), and parliamentary scrutiny (13%). Health and social care dominate her 497 recorded speech contributions — she has spoken in 62 debates, most recently on 9 July 2026 — with defence, economy, and immigration also featuring. She holds no select committee seat.

Shah's Bradford West profile is reinforced by several local campaigns: she has publicly opposed the government's decision to fill in the Queensbury Tunnel, raised racism allegations in British ju-jitsu in Parliament, and secured a government consultation on nuisance fireworks after sustained advocacy. A memoir published in early 2026, drawing on her experience of forced marriage and domestic violence, attracted substantial local coverage and connects directly to the social-care and victims' issues she raises in the chamber. News sentiment over the past 90 days is broadly neutral across 35 articles.
