Yuan Yang.

Yuan Yang's most notable deviation from Labour orthodoxy is on assisted dying: she voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at its final Commons reading in June 2025, and backed a devolution-related amendment during the Bill's Report Stage — placing her among the minority of Labour MPs who opposed the legislation. Outside that, she is a 99.6% party-line voter, with no other rebel votes on record.

Her parliamentary engagement sits at 82% — broadly in line with the Commons average for a first-term MP. Her 132 contributions across 75 debates skew heavily toward economic territory: economy and jobs, fiscal policy, cost of living, and labour-market issues together account for roughly two-thirds of her speech activity. She has voted consistently for progressive taxation (100% alignment) and workers' rights, including backing the recent extension of employment tribunal time limits to six months. Her stance profile shows lower-than-party-average alignment on welfare expansion and criminal justice reform. Her Treasury Committee membership fits her economic focus — she entered Parliament as a journalist covering China and technology.

Locally, news coverage over the past 90 days is high-volume but low-profile — 42 articles averaging a near-neutral sentiment score, dominated by culture and sport, housing, and crime stories. The highest-impact pieces show her advocating for Hong Kong migrants facing visa changes and raising the issue of low sick pay in Parliament. She has not faced significant negative coverage. Voting data is available from her election in July 2024 onwards; the assisted dying votes are the only rebel entries on record.
