Life and careerJones was born and brought up in Croydon.[6] She was educated at Old Palace School in Croydon and at Durham University, where she read History.[7] Jones joined the Labour Party in 1992 after watching Conservative MP Peter Lilley, then the Secretary of State at the Department of Social Security, make a speech to the Conservative Party's annual conference where he attacked benefit claimants and women who allegedly become pregnant to gain council housing. Jones, who was pregnant at the time, joined the Labour Party as a direct reaction to the speech.[8] A former Head of Campaigns at the housing charity Shelter, Jones worked for Labour MP and Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam and later ran campaigns at the NHS Confederation.[9] Jones was part of the team delivering the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games working with Tessa Jowell, who was Minister for the Olympics at the time.[10][11] She remained close with Jowell, and in 2018 Jones led a debate in the House of Commons paying tribute to Jowell's fight against brain cancer and her campaign for improved cancer treatment.[12] Parliamentary careerJones was selected to contest the marginal Croydon Central constituency at the 2015 General Election. Despite achieving a 5.9% swing to Labour, Jones lost by 165 votes to the incumbent Conservative Gavin Barwell.[13] At the 2017 General Election, she successfully fought the seat and defeated Barwell gaining a majority of 5,652 votes.[14] Jones's victory made further headlines due to Barwell publishing a book titled 'How to Win a Marginal Seat' after his 2015 victory.[15] Jones made her maiden speech in the House of Commons during a debate on the Grenfell Tower fire. Jones criticised politicians' failure to listen to Grenfell victims before the disaster, and called on the Government to retrofit sprinklers in all council tower blocks.[16] The speech received widespread coverage for being the first time Croydon rapper Stormzy was quoted in Parliament, with Jones warning MPs: "You're never too big for the boot."[17][18][19] After highlighting the rise in knife crime in Croydon during the General Election, Jones has run a campaign calling for a stronger Government response to knife crime across the UK.[20] She launched the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Knife Crime in September 2017, being elected as the group's Chair.[21] At its launch over 30 MPs and Peers joined the group, which is supported by charities Redthread and Barnardo's. The APPG's stated aims are to 'look in detail at the root causes of knife crime – with particular focus on prevention and early intervention'.[22] Jones was appointed as Parliamentary Private Secretary to John Healey, Labour's Shadow Housing Secretary in January 2018, and was subsequently promoted to Shadow Housing Minister in 2018, succeeding Tony Lloyd. ViewsJones is concerned about rising knife crime, Jones stated, “While parliamentary farce and stalemate continues, the reality for our country is regression. The most visceral symptom is the continuing epidemic of knife violence. Across the country children are arming themselves and dying on our streets. What bigger symbol could there be of a generation abandoned and all aspiration lost?”[23] Personal lifeJones has four children and has lived in Croydon all her life.[24][25] References1. ^{{cite web |title= Sarah Jones MP |url= http://myparliament.info/Member/4631 |website= myparliament.info |publisher= MyParliament |access-date= 10 August 2017 |deadurl= no |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20170810212102/http://myparliament.info/Member/4631 |archivedate= 10 August 2017 |df= dmy-all }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.croydon.gov.uk/democracy/elected/allcouncillors/sara-jones-mp|title=Sarah Jones (Croydon Central)|website=London Borough of Croydon|accessdate=1 August 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802000710/https://www.croydon.gov.uk/democracy/elected/allcouncillors/sara-jones-mp|archivedate=2 August 2017|df=dmy-all}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/sarah-jones/4631|title=Sarah Jones MP|website=UK Parliament|accessdate=1 August 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802004104/http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/sarah-jones/4631|archivedate=2 August 2017|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Croydon Central|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/E14000654|website=Election 2017|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=9 June 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170610180953/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/E14000654|archivedate=10 June 2017|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Booth|first1=Samantha|title=Labour winner Sarah Jones thanks Theresa May for calling the general election|url=http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/sarah-jones-thanks-theresa-may-for-calling-ge17/story-30380649-detail/story.html|accessdate=9 June 2017|work=Croydon Advertiser|date=9 June 2017}}{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 6. ^{{cite news | last = Tobin | first = Olivia | url = http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/8203-everything-we-know-about-sarah-jones-croydon-s-first-female-mp/story-30380995-detail/story.html | title = Who is Sarah Jones?
