Dispatch
Apr 2026

A safe Lab seat, won with 47% of the vote in 2024. Covers Warrington, Culcheth and Burtonwood. Population 92,400.

One of Charlotte Nichols' most significant recent moments came in March 2026, when she made a deeply personal disclosure in Parliament -- revealing she had been raped at a work event -- in order to challenge government legislation she believed was harmful to rape victims. The intervention drew widespread coverage and saw her publicly criticise Foreign Secretary David Lammy's legal reforms, arguing they failed survivors. That speech is emblematic of a broader pattern: Nichols is an active and visible MP who uses parliamentary platforms to push on issues well beyond routine constituency business.

Her voting record is straightforward -- a 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes across 488 divisions, participating at 85%, slightly above the Commons average. Her stance profile reflects a strongly progressive orientation: she scores 97% on pro-progressive taxation and 89% on workers' rights votes, while sitting at just 15% on pro-business measures and 0% on Lords scrutiny -- meaning she consistently backs the government in overriding Lords amendments, as seen across her recent votes on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and Pension Schemes Bill. She votes notably more in favour of assisted dying access than the average Labour MP (+19 percentage points). Her 66 parliamentary contributions span crime, the local economy, social care, and health.
