Represented by SNP since 2019.
Glasgow Central's SNP MP is currently navigating reputational turbulence ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections. The most significant recent coverage placed Thewliss directly in negative territory: a story linking her to controversy over the SNP's handling of internal misconduct -- she was photographed at a protest with an offensive sign and appeared on campaign materials alongside figures embroiled in separate scandals. Alongside this, she has been visible on the campaign trail, pictured with First Minister John Swinney at the Barras, and has spoken out on transport issues, criticising Labour's fuel duty stance in response to Glasgow congestion charge debate. Her public interventions have been largely reactive rather than proactive.
At Westminster, there is virtually nothing to report in conventional parliamentary terms. Voting participation stands at 0% across 0 recorded votes, which reflects the SNP's long-standing policy of abstaining from votes on England-only matters -- a constitutional position rather than disengagement. No speech data is available for the recent period, and she holds no select committee seats, leaving her Commons footprint essentially invisible in the data.
Votes less often than 100% of MPs.
