==Early life and career==
Jon Trickett was born in [[Leeds]] on 2 July 1950. He studied at Roundhay Grammar School (now called [[Roundhay School]]).

Formed politically by the [[Anti-Vietnam War movement|anti-Vietnam war movement]], he joined the Labour Party in 1969 and was active on the Labour left in Leeds from the late 1960s. From 1974 to 1986 he worked as a builder and plumber.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/public-leaders-network/2015/sep/16/jon-trickett-shadow-communities-secretary-jeremy-corbyn-cabinet |title=A rough guide to Jon Trickett, the new shadow communities secretary |work=The Guardian |date=16 September 2015}}</ref> During the campaigns relating to the [[1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum|Common Market referendum]] in 1975 he was the secretary of the Vote No campaign in Leeds.

During the 1970s Trickett was a member of the ILP (the successor body of the [[Independent Labour Party]]), contributed to its newspaper, the ''[[Labour Leader]]'', and was elected for a number of years to its ruling body, the National Administrative Council. Trickett was also active in anti-fascist and anti-war movements, and was a delegate to the [[Leeds Trades Council]]. Later he was the election agent for [[Michael McGowan (politician)|Michael McGowan]] who became the MEP for Leeds in 1984.

Trickett was first elected to [[Leeds City Council]] for the [[Beeston, Leeds|Beeston]] ward in [[1984 Leeds City Council election#By-elections between 1984 and 1986|1984]] at the age of 34. He replaced [[George Mudie (politician)|George Mudie]] as Leader of the Council in 1989, holding the leadership until 1996 and his election to [[House of Commons (UK)|Parliament]]. Brian Walker replaced Trickett as Council Leader. He  resigned his council seat after the May local elections to take his seat in the House of Commons.

==Parliamentary career==
===Blair and Brown governments===
At the [[1996 Hemsworth by-election]], Trickett was elected to Parliament as MP for [[Hemsworth (UK Parliament constituency)|Hemsworth]] with 71.9% of the vote and a majority of 13,875.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hemsworth by-election · British Universities Film & Video Council |url=http://bufvc.ac.uk/tvandradio/lbc/index.php/segment/0001100501003 |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=bufvc.ac.uk}}</ref> He was re-elected as MP for Hemsworth at the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]] with a decreased vote share of 70.6% and an increased majority of 23,992.<ref name="electoralcalculus1997">{{cite web |title=Election Data 1997 |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_1997.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015054424/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_1997.txt |archive-date=15 October 2011 |access-date=18 October 2015 |publisher=[[Electoral Calculus]]}}</ref>

Following the general election, Trickett was made a [[parliamentary private secretary]] (PPS) to [[Peter Mandelson]]  and worked in the Cabinet office and subsequently the [[Department of Trade and Industry (United Kingdom)|Department of Trade and Industry]] (DTI). After leaving the government at the time of Mandelson's fall from grace, Trickett was chair of the [[Compass (think tank)|Compass]] pressure group.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last=Woodward |first=Will |date=2008-06-12 |title=Labour MP stands down from leftwing group over support for 42 days |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2008/jun/12/labour.terrorism |access-date=2024-06-19 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

He played a significant role in rebelling against the [[Iraq War]] and participated in demonstrations against it in London, [[Wakefield]], and [[Leeds]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-04-04 |title=Meet Jon Trickett, Ed Miliband's Left-Hand Man |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/04/02/trickett-interview_n_5075382.html |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=HuffPost UK |language=en}}</ref> He rebelled on a number of occasions against [[Tony Blair]]'s reforms to public services. He led the demands for a [[recall of parliament]] at the time of the Israeli attacks on the Lebanon, and the campaign inside the Commons to amend the Companies Bill to secure public listed companies reporting on 'supply chain issues' in line with the suggestions of a range of non governmental organisations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trickett, Jon |url=https://macemagazine.com/profiles/trickett-jon/ |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=Mace Magazine |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Trickett had previously voted against the Blair Government's 90-day detention proposals in the [[Terrorism Act 2006]], which had been [[Terrorism Act 2006#Police advocacy of 90 day detention|publicly advocated by the police]], and was joined by both Labour and Conservative MPs in the vote, the only time Blair was defeated in the Commons. Trickett and Cruddas voted in favour of the subsequent 28-day detention proposal, and Trickett then resigned from his position in Compass after voting in favour of the legislation despite opposition to the Bill from some members of Compass.<ref name=":1" />

In June 2007 he was asked by Gordon Brown to chair the party's manifesto group on housing, a position which he declined to take up. Following the cabinet reshuffle of 3 October 2008, Trickett became the [[Parliamentary private secretary]] to the Prime Minister, [[Gordon Brown]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7653134.stm |title=Blair advised Mandelson on return |work=BBC News |date=5 October 2008 |access-date=19 July 2016}}</ref>

=== Starmer government ===
In September 2024, Trickett was the only MP from the Labour Party to vote for a parliamentary motion which would block the Labour government's plan to [[means test]] the [[Winter Fuel Payment]] for pensioners, becoming part of [[Winter fuel payment abolition backlash|the significant backlash to it]], arguing that this reform would lead to a further increase in poverty among pensioners during the coming winter, which he warned would be "extremely difficult for my constituents of all ages". Trickett had supported the introduction of the payment as a [[Universal welfare state|universal benefit]] to pensioners, by Labour chancellor Gordon Brown in 1997.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Robertson |first=Adam |date=10 September 2024 |title=Winter Fuel Payment: Labour MP Jon Trickett votes against Government |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/24575836.winter-fuel-payment-labour-mp-jon-trickett-votes-government/}}</ref>
