Alex Baker.

Alex Baker's most significant votes this year came on 20 June, when she broke with a majority of Labour MPs to oppose the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading. Across several divisions that day, she voted against the bill passing and against amendments backed by the Labour majority — including one requiring palliative care assessments in annual reports — while supporting amendments that would have added safeguards, such as preventing applications where the wish to die was substantially motivated by disability, financial pressure, or lack of access to care. Her deviations place her 45 percentage points below her party's average on assisted dying access, making this the sharpest divergence in her voting record. Beyond the chamber, she has led the successful bid to bring National Armed Forces Day 2026 to Aldershot and Farnborough, and co-signed opposition to a proposed McDonald's beside a local nature reserve.

At 78% voting participation, she is below the Commons average, though not unusually so for a first-term MP. On standard Labour territory she is a 97.5% party-line voter — backing fiscal responsibility measures, workers' rights reforms, and housing development consistently. Her speech record — 116 contributions across 88 debates, with defence dominating at roughly 48 mentions, followed by economy and jobs — reflects both her Defence Committee membership and her constituency's heavy military and aerospace footprint.

Baker was elected for Aldershot in July 2024 in what was a significant Labour gain. Her Defence Committee role shapes much of her parliamentary activity, and local news coverage is consistently positive, centring on military community advocacy and economic development. Voting data from the most recent 90 days is limited, so the assisted dying votes remain the clearest window into how she weighs conscience against party position.
