Your welfare votes are your one unbroken line — scrap the two-child cap, keep Motability's VAT relief, boost child benefit — a clear conviction that the state should soften hard edges for families. Everywhere else, from devolution to defence spending, you're a left-leaner who'll happily peel off when a case doesn't convince you.

You split evenly with the national mood, siding with the majority on exactly half your votes — no reflexive contrarian, but no easy consensus-follower either. Your clearest break: you said no to the extra £15bn for defence while nearly two-thirds of Britain said yes, and you called the Green Party a danger when most of the country agreed but you arrived from a different angle.

Wrexham mostly walks with you — unanimous on child benefit, devolution, Ukraine, the written constitution — but it splits from you on defence spending, where your area went only a third yes against your no, and on the Andy Burnham growth question, where you and your patch both said no while the nation leaned yes.

You've never voted on immigration, health, housing, or justice — a striking gap for someone with such a firm welfare conviction, since those are exactly the fights that would test how far your left instincts stretch.

Ten scored votes is early days — enough to see the shape of a welfare-first left-leaner, not yet enough to know your edges. Cast a few more, especially into health or immigration, and this read will sharpen fast — come back next week and see how it moves.
