Eagle voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and repeatedly
voted against various proposals for investigations into the war in 2003, 2006,
and 2007. She voted in favour of bombing Syria in 2015.
In 2015 Eagle said Chancellor George Osborne has
introduced his so-called “national living wage” too quickly and that this might
have an impact on businesses.
Eagle was one of the MPs who did not vote against
Conservative welfare cuts during Labour’s 2015 leadership contest – following
Harriet Harman’s party line.
She supported the introduction of tuition fees under Tony
Blair and supported raising them to £3,000 in 2004.
Eagle consistently voted in favour of ID cards and in favour
of snooping law requiring the mass retention of communications data. She also
supported the Blair government’s plan to detain people for 90 days without
charge.
She backs Trident and has consistently voted against motions
calling for it to be scrapped.
