Liberal Democrats MP in Conservative and Unionist Party-controlled territory.

Green is making parliamentary scrutiny her trademark. Her most recent votes, on the National Security (State Threats) Bill and Armed Forces Bill in June 2026, show an MP engaging with detailed committee-stage and report-stage work — backing oversight amendments and opposing one clause that would have curtailed judicial review. Outside the chamber, she has raised high rail fares affecting schoolchildren with specific constituency examples and pushed on patient safety following a published report, while her Public Accounts Committee membership drove the inquiry into water industry failures that contributed to OFWAT's abolition.

She is a 100% party-line voter who has not once broken with the Liberal Democrats, though her voting profile shows some distance from her party on specific issues: she votes against progressive taxation more consistently than her colleagues (0% aligned versus 17% for the party average) and is firmer still against tax increases generally (100% versus 92%). Her participation rate of 69% sits below the Commons average. Parliamentary scrutiny and civil liberties dominate her voting pattern, both at 92% alignment — consistent with her engagement on national security legislation. Her 78 speeches span social care, health, and local government, reflecting a domestic-policy focus.

Her constituency was itself the story when she won it in June 2021, overturning a large Conservative majority in what was widely described as a political upset. That by-election profile established her early as a high-visibility MP, though recent local news coverage — 76 articles in the past 90 days — carries a neutral average sentiment, spread across culture, crime, and planning topics rather than any single issue. Voting data and speech records are available in full; news sentiment scores for recent months are averaged across many low-intensity local stories rather than a single defining controversy.
