Labour and Co-operative Party MP for Birmingham Edgbaston.
Gill's most notable departure from Labour norms is her twice-voted opposition to assisted dying — at Second Reading in November 2024 and again at Third Reading in June 2025 — making her one of the minority of Labour MPs to consistently vote against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill as it passed to the Lords. Beyond that, her news coverage has centred on crime affecting the Sikh community: she attended the Westminster lobby on rising anti-Sikh hate crimes, met the security minister over threats to Sikhs from abroad, and publicly raised concerns after a racially aggravated attack in her region. On Birmingham's local government crisis she wrote publicly that the city "can't be held to ransom", signalling visible if not always effective pressure on the council.
At 74% participation — modestly below the Commons average — and a 99.5% party-line voting record, Gill is a dependable government loyalist outside the assisted dying question. Her speeches concentrate heavily on health (26 contributions), local government (17), economy and jobs (15), and social care (14), which fits her background as a former NHS commissioner. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with workers' rights and progressive taxation, but notably low scores on civil liberties and parliamentary scrutiny — both reflecting straightforward government-side voting. She sits below her party average on public health votes by 26 percentage points, a gap worth watching given her speech activity in that area.
She currently holds no select committee seat, which limits her formal scrutiny role. Her deviation scores show slightly stronger-than-average support for victims' rights and armed forces welfare. Recent news in the past 90 days is sparse — three articles across local government, schools, and culture — with no strong sentiment signal either way. The assisted dying votes remain the clearest evidence of independent judgment in an otherwise loyalist record.
