Liberal Democrats MP for Wokingham.
Clive Jones is a steady constituency-first MP whose recent activity has centred on local pressure campaigns rather than parliamentary drama. He voted against the Immigration and Asylum Bill at Second Reading — in line with Liberal Democrat opposition — and backed Lords amendments to the National Security (State Threats) Bill, supporting the upper chamber's scrutiny role. More telling is his pattern outside the chamber: news coverage shows him calling for Thames Water to face Special Administration over raw sewage in the Emm Brook, pushing the Chancellor for a VAT cut on heating oil for constituents facing rising energy costs, and meeting the care minister directly to press for social care funding reform.
At 69% voting participation — somewhat below the Commons average — Jones is not the most prolific voter, but he compensates with volume in debate: 383 contributions across 266 debates, dominated by economy and jobs, local government, health, and social care. He has never voted against his party, making him a 100% party-line Liberal Democrat, though his voting profile flags him as notably more aligned with financial regulation than the average Lib Dem MP (+28 percentage points above his party). His Finance Committee membership makes that focus coherent.
His news coverage — driven largely by Bracknell News — paints a picture of high casework throughput and active local advocacy, with cancer care and NHS infrastructure featuring prominently alongside the environment and cost-of-living stories above. The news sentiment data for the most recent 90 days is insufficient to assess any shift in local coverage. No rebel votes, no controversies: a high-output, locally focused MP operating well within his party's boundaries.
Clive Jones is the Liberal Democrat MP for Wokingham, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024. He currently undertakes the role of Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Trade).

“Seeking explicit clarity that spouses of infected people receive their own separate compensation rather than derivative status; emphasises family-wide impact of the scandal.”
