MP for Croydon West
Minister of State (Home Office)
“A loyal, centre-left MP who has quickly risen to ministerial roles while backing NHS funding and opposing Rwanda deportations.”
Sarah Jones is the Labour Co‑op MP for Croydon West, first elected in 2017. She has held ministerial roles in government since 2024, most recently serving as Minister of State at the Home Office from September 2025, after earlier posts in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Business and Trade. Earlier in her parliamentary career she served in opposition roles and sat on the Home Affairs Committee.
She votes with her party 100% of the time and has an attendance rate of 58%, well above her party's average. Her voting record shows a mix of positions: she tends to oppose tighter immigration and asylum controls, supports NHS funding and bus services regulation, and is generally cautious on issues like VAT and transgender rights. She has one notable rebel vote against her party on a 2018 motion about National Policy Statement and runway capacity.
