MP for Brentford and Isleworth
“A largely loyal Labour backbencher with high attendance who has occasionally rebelled on Brexit-related issues.”

She has held multiple shadow minister roles and currently sits on the Transport Committee and the Liaison Committee; since 11 June 2025 she has also been a member of the Liaison Sub-Committee on National Policy Statements.
