<h2>Early Life and Education</h2>

<p><a href="/biography/owen-jones">Owen Peter Jones</a> was born on August 8, 1984, in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. He was raised in Stockport, Greater Manchester, by parents who were both active in their respective professions—his father was a trade union shop steward and his mother, an IT lecturer. Jones attended Bramhall High School and later Ridge Danyers Sixth Form College. He went on to study history at University College, Oxford, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2005, followed by a Master of Studies in United States History in 2007.</p>

<h2>Career in Journalism</h2>

<p>Owen Jones is a prominent British <a href="/biography/owen-jones">journalist</a>, political commentator, and left-wing political activist. He is widely recognized for his regular column in The Guardian, a UK-based newspaper known for its progressive political stance. The Guardian has often been associated with liberal viewpoints, and the term “Guardian reader” is sometimes used—both descriptively and pejoratively—to characterize individuals with left-leaning political views. According to a national poll conducted from October 2017 to September 2018, The Guardian's print edition was identified as the most trusted newspaper in the UK.</p>

<p>In addition to The Guardian, Jones has contributed to several other publications, including the New Statesman, the Sunday Mirror, Le Monde diplomatique, and The Independent. His insightful commentary and advocacy for social justice have solidified his role as a notable voice on the British left.</p>

<h2>Author and Political Commentary</h2>

<p>In 2011, Owen Jones published his first book, <i>Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class</i>. The term “chav” is a derogatory British slang word used to describe youth perceived as anti-social or working class in a stereotypical and dismissive way. In the book, Jones challenges the media portrayal and societal treatment of the working class, arguing that the term undermines genuine socioeconomic issues. The book was well received and sparked considerable public debate, leading <i>The Independent on Sunday</i> to include him in its list of top 50 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_people">Britons</a> of 2011.</p>
