Apr 2026

Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers South Normanton and Pinxton, Shirebrook and Bolsover. Population 93,884. Median income £25K (below average).

Bolsover's MP has attracted significant national attention for her personal campaign to reform how the law protects victims of grooming gangs. Natalie Fleet, who has publicly disclosed that she was raped, secured government backing for legislative changes aimed at strengthening safeguards for vulnerable women and children -- a campaign that earned BBC coverage twice in 2025 and drew royal support. The campaign also brought threats to her safety, including a Reform UK politician sharing a post suggesting she "should be shot." Her advocacy on this issue is the most prominent thing she has done since entering parliament in 2024.

Fleet's parliamentary record shows a fully loyal Labour MP who has voted with her party on every recorded occasion -- a 100% alignment rate. Her participation rate of 70% sits below the Commons average. She has made 51 contributions across 36 debates, with speeches concentrated on the economy, crime, social care, and local government -- topics that reflect Bolsover's post-industrial profile. Her stance data places her notably below her party's average on criminal justice reform (29% vs Labour's 64%), an unusual gap that sits alongside her high-profile crime campaigning, suggesting her focus is on victim protection rather than offender rehabilitation. She scores well above the party average on child welfare and housing development.
