Alice Macdonald.

A loyal government vote with a strong local campaigning record, Alice Macdonald has not rebelled once since entering Parliament in 2024. Her most visible recent parliamentary work has been on workers' rights — she voted for both instruments modernising trade union balloting in July 2026 — and on the Immigration and Asylum Bill, which she backed at Second Reading. On assisted dying she stands noticeably to the left of her Labour colleagues: her voting pattern runs 30 percentage points more favourable to access than the party average, making it the clearest area where her personal convictions diverge from the parliamentary centre of gravity.

Her participation rate of 85% sits a little below the Commons average, and she has voted with the Labour whip on every recorded division — a 100% party-line record. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights (87%) and fiscal responsibility (78%), but low scores on parliamentary scrutiny (9%), civil liberties (15%) and pro-business measures (11%), consistent with voting down opposition amendments to the Public Office (Accountability) Bill rather than backing additional checks. Economy and jobs dominate her 165 parliamentary contributions, followed by health, local government, and social care.

Outside Westminster, news coverage paints a picture of an active constituency operator: she secured gritting on an unadopted housing estate after a 450-signature petition, called for paid leave for fertility treatment during National Fertility Awareness Week, and publicly condemned Lloyds' closure of a city-centre bank. She holds no committee seat. Her last recorded speech was February 2026, and recent local news sentiment data — covering crime, local government, and transport — carries a neutral average score across four articles in the past 90 days.
