Lynne Mary Jones (born 26 April 1951) is a British politician, who was the Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Birmingham Selly Oak from 1992 until 2010.
In October 2023, Jones reportedly quit the Labour Party following comments Keir Starmer made on the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.
She has worked in both science and housing, and was a councillor on Birmingham City Council representing Kings Norton ward from 1980–94.
This led to a discovery that there are cell-surface receptors that are stimulated by hormones and neurotransmitters controlled by changes of intracellular calcium ion levels.
Subsequently, Socialist Campaign Group Chair John McDonnell attempted to stand instead, but failed to gain enough nominations from MPs and Brown was unopposed.
Jones refused to endorse Roger Godsiff in Hall Green, instead supporting the Respect candidate Salma Yaqoob, who came second.
