Liberal Democrats MP for North East Hampshire.
Elected in 2024 in a constituency that had been Conservative for decades, Alex Brewer has spent her first two years building a visible local record. Recent press credits her with securing chalk stream protections, backing a Defence Housing Strategy, and lobbying successfully for local government reform — North East Hampshire is set to merge into a new North Hampshire Strategic Authority. She has also pushed hard on Basingstoke's new hospital, which faces potential delays until 2046, raising the issue through petitions and parliamentary questions.
In the Commons, Brewer votes at 65% participation — below the average for most MPs — but has not once broken with the Liberal Democrats across 375 recorded votes, making her a 100% party-line voter. Her stance profile shows strong support for parliamentary and Lords scrutiny and climate action, but low alignment on fiscal responsibility and workers' rights measures. She voted against the Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading and opposed planning regulations that would shift smaller planning decisions away from elected councillors to officers. Her 81 contributions span economy, local government, health, social care, and housing.
Two deviations from the Lib Dem average stand out: she is more supportive of assisted dying access than most of her colleagues and more consistently opposed to welfare reform. She sits on the Women and Equalities Committee. Her news coverage over the past 90 days is sparse, so the local sentiment picture is thin; the broader record draws on earlier reporting from the Basingstoke Gazette and Lib Dem Voice.
Alex Brewer is the Liberal Democrat MP for North East Hampshire, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.
