Voting record
In the 225 recorded divisions where Darren Jones and at least one other Labour member were recorded voting, Darren Jones voted the same way as most voting Labour members 222 times (98.7%).
This compares Darren Jones with other members of their own party who were recorded voting in the same division. It is not a measure of loyalty to a whip: Civometry holds no whipping records, so it cannot say which votes were whipped, and voting differently from party colleagues is not described here as a rebellion. Members not recorded in a division are excluded from the comparison rather than counted, because an absence from a division list is not a vote and does not mean the member was absent from the House.
