MP for Bristol North West
Minister for Intergovernmental Relations
“A party-loyal centre-left minister with multiple senior government roles who votes with Labour when present and maintains relatively strong attendance.”
Darren Jones is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Bristol North West, first elected in 2017. He currently holds senior government roles as Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Minister of State (Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister) from September 2025, after previously serving as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. He has also served on numerous parliamentary committees throughout his career.
Jones shows perfect party loyalty (100%) and attends votes at 58%—above the party average of 33%. He has one notable rebel vote in 2018 against a party position on National Policy Statement and New Runway Capacity. On key issues, his record mixes welfare and public-service support (Universal Credit, NHS funding) with opposition to stricter immigration and asylum measures, and with votes against transgender rights, trade union powers, and the Rwanda deportation scheme; VAT votes and prison sentencing show more varied positions.
Declared financial interests include donations and other support for activities as an MP (two entries) and miscellaneous interests (one entry).
