Represented by Lab since 2024. Covers Mansfield, Mansfield Woodhouse and Forest Town. Population 101,591. Median income £26K (below average).

A steady loyalist with pockets of visible local advocacy, Steve Yemm's most notable recent action was hosting a parliamentary debate on childhood cancer support, raising concerns about postcode lotteries in psychological care and clinical trial access for young patients. He holds a formal role as Parliamentary Champion for Teenage Cancer Trust, giving that intervention added weight. He has also been publicly vocal on electric vehicle manufacturing job losses, signing a cross-party letter to the Transport Secretary and speaking to media about the risks to Mansfield workers -- a constituency with real exposure to automotive supply chain pressures. Separately, a £20m government investment in Mansfield town centre has given him a platform to consult constituents on spending priorities, though the funding predates his direct lobbying.

Yemm's parliamentary participation is high at 94%, and he has not cast a single rebel vote -- a 100% party-line record across 460 votes. His strongest alignments are with progressive taxation and workers' rights. His stance profile places him notably below the Labour average on public services funding and disability benefits, and he sits slightly to the anti-assisted-dying side of his party on end-of-life legislation -- one of the few areas where his voting diverges from the Labour centre. Speech activity is substantial at 146 contributions, concentrated on economy and jobs, social care, local government, and defence.
