Florence Eshalomi.

Eshalomi's five rebel votes on 20 June 2025 define her recent parliamentary profile. She voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading and opposed several amendments that would have expanded its scope — while backing New Clause 16, which would have barred applications driven by fear of being a burden, disability, or financial pressure. Her voting pattern on the bill places her well to the sceptical end of the Labour parliamentary party: her alignment with pro-assisted-dying-access positions sits at 11%, against a Labour average of 58%, and she voted in favour of tighter restrictions at twice the party rate. Outside that cluster, she votes with Labour in 97% of divisions — a reliable loyalist on everything from trade union balloting reform to planning deregulation.

Her participation rate of 69% sits below the Commons average, though committee chairs often trade floor votes for scrutiny work. She chairs the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, a role she won in September 2024, and her speech record reflects it: local government, social care, and housing dominate her 255 contributions across 158 debates. She scores 100% on progressive taxation and pro-government-agenda stances, but only 13% on parliamentary scrutiny and 5% on Lords scrutiny votes — suggesting she backs the government's agenda rather than pushing for additional checks on it.

The housing committee chairmanship is the clearest contextual lens for her work: she has raised Post Office closures affecting her Vauxhall and Camberwell Green constituents by name, co-chairs an APPG inquiry into London's productivity, and signed a letter urging a ban on digital asset donations to political parties. Her deviation data flags a notably stronger alignment with disability rights than most Labour MPs, which may help explain her assisted dying position.
