Labour Party MP in Conservative and Unionist Party-controlled territory.

Wrighting's one departure from Labour's line came in January 2026, when she voted against new MHRA fee regulations for medical device companies — siding with opposition concerns about the burden on smaller businesses following a fee rise just months earlier. Otherwise she is a 99.8% party-line voter, one of the most loyal in the 2024 intake. Beyond that single rebel vote, her most notable recent action is her role as parliamentary private secretary to the Department of Health and Social Care, a position that has brought a Health Minister to Kettering General Hospital and positioned her as a direct channel between her constituency and government on NHS matters.

Her parliamentary participation sits at 79% — slightly below the Commons average — but her speech activity is substantial: 90 contributions across 64 debates, led by economy and jobs, health, defence, and social care. She consistently votes with Labour on workers' rights and progressive taxation, and her stance profile shows near-zero alignment with pro-business or anti-tax positions. Her deviations from the Labour average are concentrated on assisted dying, where she is more supportive of access than most Labour MPs, and child welfare, where she also scores higher than her party.

Outside the chamber, Wrighting has drawn positive local coverage for campaigning on bereavement suites in maternity units — legislation introduced after her birth hospital, KGH, identified the need — and for securing and consulting on a £20m funding package for Kettering. Recent 90-day news data covers 39 articles across crime, culture, health, and transport, though sentiment scores for this period are neutral. She sits on no select committees.
