MP for Bristol North West
Minister for Intergovernmental Relations
“A party loyalist and centre-left MP who has risen quickly in government while rarely rebelling.”
Darren Jones is the Labour and Co‑operative MP for Bristol North West, first elected in 2017. He currently serves as Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, and also holds the roles of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister. He has previously held senior Treasury roles and has served on a range of parliamentary committees.
Jones has 100% party loyalty and 57% voting attendance, with one rebel vote. He generally backs welfare measures (including Universal Credit) and NHS funding, and supports bus services regulation. On other issues his record is mixed: he tends to oppose stricter immigration controls and the Rwanda deportation scheme, and has voted against transgender rights and the asylum system, with VAT and prison sentencing votes split.
He has declared three financial interests: two related to donations and other support (including loans) for activities as an MP, and one miscellaneous entry.
