Ruth Lorraine Jones (born c. 1962) is a British Labour Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Newport West since 2019, following the Newport West by-election.

Background

Jones was educated at Duffryn High School in Newport.[1] After training at Cardiff University,[2] she worked as a physiotherapist in the National Health Service from 1983, eventually managing children and adult learning disability services for the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.[3][4]

Political career

Jones became involved with the professional body and trade union Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) as a steward, a regional steward, then a member of the CSP Council. In 2007 she was elected president of the Wales TUC for two years. In 2016 she became a full-time senior negotiating officer for the CSP.[4][5]

She contested Monmouth for Labour at the 2015 and 2017 general elections.[5]

Jones was elected as MP for Newport West in April 2019 at the Newport West by-election, which had been caused by the death of the sitting Labour MP, Paul Flynn.[6] On a relatively low turnout of 37.1%, Jones took 39.6% (9,308) of the vote, though the Labour majority dropped from 5,658 (in 2017) to 1,951.[7]
