Yasmin Qureshi.

Qureshi's most consistent departure from her party has been on assisted dying. She voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Second Reading in November 2024, again at Third Reading in June 2025, and backed several restrictive amendments at Report Stage in between — placing her among the minority of Labour MPs who opposed the Bill throughout its Commons passage. Her stance profile confirms this: she aligns with pro-assisted-dying restrictions at 100%, against a party average of 45%. Beyond that single issue, she has drawn local coverage for championing a fireworks safety Bill, pushing back on flood defence funding that bypassed her constituency, and intervening directly to help a stranded constituent navigate a passport crisis.

Her parliamentary record is patchy on attendance — 59% participation sits below the Commons average — but where she does vote, she follows Labour in 98.5% of cases. Her speeches are spread across defence, the economy, health, and social care, with 232 contributions across 74 debates, and she spoke as recently as 9 July 2026. She holds no committee seats. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but low alignment with parliamentary scrutiny and Lords oversight measures — consistent with a backbencher who broadly backs the government's programme.

The bulk of her recent local news coverage — 21 of 28 articles over the past 90 days — falls under crime, with a near-zero average sentiment score, suggesting coverage driven by constituency events rather than her own advocacy. Her strongest local press comes from casework and specific campaigns: fireworks legislation, school book removals, and the Middle East conflict's effect on Bolton residents. Data on her rebel votes and speech topics is available from 2024 onwards; earlier parliamentary record is not reflected here.
