MP for Bristol North West
Minister for Intergovernmental Relations
“A party-loyal MP who rose to senior government roles while backing welfare and public-service funding, but taking a centre-left line on immigration and rights issues.”
Darren Jones is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Bristol North West, first elected in 2017. He currently serves in government as Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Minister of State, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister. He has previously held the role of Chief Secretary to the Treasury and has served on a range of parliamentary committees, reflecting experience in finance and policy work.
