Your convictions are strongest on governance and welfare — you want devolution that's real, not cosmetic, and a safety net that isn't means-tested into oblivion. You rejected the emergency welfare brake and PIP restrictions for mental health conditions without hesitation; this isn't a protest vote, it's a settled belief that the state should catch people before they fall.

You split almost evenly with the national mood — agreeing on wind and solar planning reform, disagreeing sharply on the Hybrid Navy and electrification targets, where you broke left while the country leaned the other way. You're not a contrarian by temperament; you just don't flinch from an unfashionable no when your principles say so.

Grimsby and Cleethorpes match you less often than you'd expect from a "left-behind" seat — your area went further right on electrification and further doubtful on Reform UK's danger, yet aligned with you completely against Ed Miliband as chancellor. You're reading your own patch correctly, just not uncritically.

You've never voted on immigration, employment or elections — striking gaps for someone this committed to devolution and welfare, since who governs and who's protected in this economy are exactly your fights.

This is early days — 33 scored votes is a shape, not a portrait yet. Cast a few more on immigration or employment and the picture sharpens into something unmistakably yours; we'll be here each week to show you how it moves.
