Political career[]
She stood in Portsmouth South in the 2019 general election. During the campaign, she received criticism from political opponents for flying in a plane over the constituency, with a banner attached stating “Vote Donna Jones - Get Brexit Done” instead of attending a candidates’ hustings on climate change.[2] After wasting over £5,000,000 of local tax payers money on a failed council funded private energy firm, while subsequently shutting down adult social care in the city, Jones took a salary from Portsmouth FC as 'strategic stadium development manager' in which time a floodlight pylon got moved in the 'great pylon move' of 2019, historic stuff.[1]
She was elected at the 2021 England and Wales police and crime commissioner elections.[3]
