Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Kettering, Desborough and Rothwell (North Northamptonshire). Population 105,809.

Kettering's MP made headlines in early 2025 by introducing legislation calling for bereavement suites in new maternity units -- a campaign rooted in her personal connection to Kettering General Hospital, where she was born. She has since secured £20 million in funding for the constituency, actively consulting residents on how it should be spent. Her one rebel vote came in January 2026, when she broke ranks to vote against the government's revised Medical Devices Fees regulations -- a measure updating charges paid by manufacturers to the medicines regulator -- suggesting some sensitivity to the concerns of small and medium-sized businesses in the life sciences sector, despite her broader voting record showing very little alignment with pro-business positions.

At 77% voting participation, Wrighting falls below the Commons average, though she is a relatively new MP elected in July 2024. She votes with the Labour Party 99.7% of the time, making her one of the more loyalist members on the government benches. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights (90%) and progressive taxation (97%), while she consistently votes against Lords amendments -- scoring 0% on pro-lords-scrutiny across 21 votes. She deviates notably from her party average on NHS funding (0% versus the party's 41%) and on tenant rights and child welfare, where she exceeds her party's average support.

Rosie Wrighting is the Labour MP for Kettering, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.

Notable Votes
