She was first elected to Parliament at the 1987 general election, after her constituency party de-selected the sitting MP Michael Cocks. At the time she was regarded as a left-winger and is still often sarcastically referred to by Private Eye magazine as "Red Dawn", but is now a New Labour loyalist. She is a former member of Avon County Council.
