Jones was appointed by Robin Sales to the position of Shadow Minister for Trade when the party lost office in 2007. Jones had campaigned for and supported Andrea Perkins' leadership bid.
In 2009, when Sales was replaced by Lawrence Porter, Jones was appointed as Deputy Leader and became Shadow Minister for Trade. He continued in this capacity until the Liberal Democrats were elected to office in August 2010, when he became Deputy Prime Minister.
In February 2011, Jones announced the government would increase its carbon emissions targets to 30% by 2025, in line with its election promises.
