A safe Lab seat, won with 47% of the vote in 2024. Covers Nottingham, Clifton (Nottingham) and Wilford. Population 105,249, notably young (median age 30 vs 41 nationally). Recorded crime is 47% above the national average. Median income £26K (below average).

Appointed as road safety minister in August 2024, Lilian Greenwood has been one of the more active government frontbenchers in the voting lobbies recently. In March 2026 she served as a teller -- the MP physically counting votes -- on six separate divisions, including five pushing back Lords amendments to the employer National Insurance rise, and one opposing an opposition motion on student loans. She also voted to raise the university tuition fee cap and backed the government's position on oil and gas licensing. A 100% party-line voter with zero rebel votes across her recorded history, she is among the most loyally aligned MPs in the Commons.

Her participation rate of 77% sits a little below the Commons average, though ministerial duties routinely reduce voting attendance. Her voting profile shows consistent support for progressive taxation, the government's budget plans, and a tough-on-crime stance -- the latter running nine percentage points above her party's average. She deviates more notably on assisted dying, voting in favour 88% of the time against a party average of 59%, suggesting a personal rather than tribal position on that issue. Her 20 parliamentary contributions span transport, the economy, and local government, reflecting her ministerial brief.
