Dispatch
Apr 2026

Won by Lab in its first election in 2024. Centred on Liverpool. Population 97,107.

A senior Cabinet minister voting in lockstep with her government, Maria Eagle has no rebel votes on record and has backed every Labour position across 61 tracked divisions -- including supporting the controversial rise in university tuition fees and resisting opposition attempts to cut fuel duty. Outside the voting lobby, her most prominent recent action was a speech to an Israel lobby group in May 2025 that drew sharp criticism from left-wing outlets, who accused her of betraying Liverpool's values; she has also championed a private bill to reform car park barrier safety laws following a teenager's death in her constituency, a campaign that gained BBC coverage and government attention.

Eagle votes with Labour 100% of the time, though her profile shows some notable divergences from her parliamentary colleagues: she votes more strongly on employment protection (+16 percentage points above the party average), victims' rights, and criminal justice reform, and scores a perfect 100% on tough-on-crime measures. She participates in 57% of divisions -- below the Commons average -- and her five recorded contributions across two debates since the last election have focused on defence, the economy, and local government, reflecting her role as Defence Secretary.
