Labour Party MP in Green Party of England and Wales-controlled territory.

Vicky Foxcroft made her most significant parliamentary move on 20 June 2025, when she voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading — breaking with roughly 97% of her fellow Labour MPs who backed it. She also voted for a tightening amendment that would have barred assisted dying applications where the wish to die was substantially driven by disability, financial hardship, or fear of being a burden. Her stance places her well to the restrictive end of the Labour spectrum on this issue: she is 47 percentage points less likely than the average Labour MP to vote for assisted dying access, and 33 points more likely to back restrictions. In early 2026 she also backed a backbench push to ban under-16s from social media, signalling a willingness to apply pressure on the government from the left on child safety.

Outside these moments, Foxcroft is a reliable government loyalist. Her 88% voting participation sits above the Commons average, and her 97.5% party alignment is among the higher end of the parliamentary Labour Party. Her 31 contributions across 16 debates in recent months cluster around the economy, social care, and health — areas consistent with her disability-rights profile, where she votes 15 percentage points above the Labour average. She sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, which may explain the social-media advocacy. On civil liberties and parliamentary scrutiny, her scores (6% and 20% respectively) reflect a pattern of backing government measures even where they concentrate power.

Local Lewisham news coverage over the past 90 days scores her at effectively zero — the articles returned relate to council elections and crime incidents, not her own work. That absence of local press engagement is worth noting, though it does not indicate inactivity in Westminster. Voting and speech data are current; detailed records of constituency casework are not available here.
