MP for Frome and East Somerset
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Culture, Media and Sport)
“A disciplined party loyalist with one notable rebel vote on a crime and policing bill.”
Anna Sabine is the Liberal Democrat MP for Frome and East Somerset, elected in 2024. She serves as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Culture, Media and Sport and sits on the Standards and Privileges committees. She previously contributed to the Crime and Policing Bill scrutiny as a committee member in 2025.
She votes in line with her party on most measures, with 100% party loyalty, but attendance has been low at 13% (below the party average of 21%), and she has one rebel vote. Her record shows a centre-right tendency (56/100). She generally supports Universal Credit, transgender rights, prison sentencing and a publicly owned railway, while opposing stronger workers’ rights protections, trade union powers and bus service regulation; votes on protest rights, mental health services and VAT changes are more mixed.
Declares eight financial interests, including four shareholdings; two entries relating to donations or other support for MP activities; one entry for gifts/benefits from UK sources; and one miscellaneous interest.
