Roz Savage.

Roz Savage has voted against the Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading — a meaningful act of opposition from an MP who otherwise votes with the Liberal Democrats 99.7% of the time. Her one rebel vote, on a devolution clause in the assisted dying bill in June 2025, shows she is willing to break from her party on conscience issues with a constitutional dimension. Locally, she has been publicly visible on planning: opposing centralised delegation of planning decisions to officers (she voted against the government's new nine-homes-or-fewer threshold), fighting a large solar scheme she says threatens the Cotswolds countryside, and championing local democratic control over development — a consistent thread across her votes and press coverage.

In parliament, Savage participates in 63% of votes, below the Commons average. Her speeches cluster around economy, environment, and local government — roughly 200 contributions across 95 debates since 2024. Her stance data marks her out clearly: she has opposed benefit cuts in every relevant vote (100%, against a party average of 68%), and has voted against progressive taxation measures in every instance (0% aligned), suggesting a consistent liberal rather than redistributive instinct. She has also led parliamentary debates on SEND provision and play-based learning, connecting local casework directly to Westminster arguments.

Savage sits on the Environmental Audit Committee and the Petitions Committee — roles that fit her profile as a former ocean rower with a long-standing environmental platform. Local news coverage in the past 90 days is mixed: transport stories carry a positive sentiment, while health and crime coverage scores near zero. Bio details are unusually relevant here — her environmental credentials predate her political career and directly explain her focus on climate, nature recovery, and rural land use. Voting data is available from July 2024; speech records extend to July 2026.
