Anna Firth.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP for Southend West.

19 Apr 2026
Conservative and Unionist Party MP in a politically split seat.
There is almost no parliamentary activity to report for Anna Firth in the current data period. She has recorded zero votes, made no speeches captured in the available record, and sits on no select committees. The most prominent recent coverage linked to her constituency concerns the posthumous nomination of her predecessor, Sir David Amess — murdered in 2021 — for a US Presidential Medal of Freedom, a tribute that reflects continuing public affection for him rather than anything relating to Firth's own work.
The absence of voting data makes it impossible to assess party loyalty or policy positions from this snapshot. No speech topics, no rebel votes, and no committee activity are recorded, which means there is no parliamentary footprint to analyse for this period. Whether this reflects a gap in data collection or genuine low engagement in the Commons cannot be determined from the information available.
Firth has held the Southend West seat since a February 2022 by-election, called following Amess's death. That context matters: her tenure has always carried the weight of following a well-regarded and long-serving predecessor, and local coverage continues to centre on his legacy rather than her record. Constituents seeking a fuller picture of her activity should consult Hansard directly and her own communications, as the data here is insufficient to support meaningful conclusions about her performance as an MP.
Anna Firth is no longer a Member, but was most recently the Conservative MP for Southend West, and left the Commons on 30 May 2024.
