'''James Larkin Jones''' (29 March 1913 – 21 April 2009) was a British trade union leader and General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union.

Jones strongly opposed the [[British Union of Fascists]]. He fought in the [[Stalinist]] associated [[International Brigades]] during the [[Spanish Civil War]]. His wife, whose first husband and friend of Jones died in Spain had been a member of the [[Communist Party of Great Britain]].

According to KGB defector [[Oleg Gordievsky]], Jones provided intelligence to the [[Soviet Union]] in return for money.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1218922/JACK-THE-TRAITOR-Special-investigation-reveals-Union-boss-sold-secrets-KGB-45-years.html Jack Jones, Soviet spy: Special investigation reveals how union boss sold secrets to the KGB for 45 years]</ref> This was denied by Jones, who described the allegations as a "slur and an outrage".<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/5200809/Former-KGB-colonel-says-he-paid-late-union-leader-Jack-Jones-200-for-information.html Former KGB colonel says he paid late union leader Jack Jones £200 for information]</ref> It was later claimed that he had in fact been working for British intelligence, informing MI5 when Russians approached him.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/5200809/Former-KGB-colonel-says-he-paid-late-union-leader-Jack-Jones-200-for-information.html</ref> In the authorised history of [[MI5]] ''The Defence of the Realm'', the author Christopher Andrew, using Gordievsky as his source, claimed that Jones passed [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] documents to the Soviets for cash, with the last payments to Jones occurring in 1984.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8289962.stm "Jack Jones 'worked for KGB' claim"], BBC News, 5 October 2009.</ref>
