Thomas Antony Coles is a Reform Jersey politician who has served as Deputy for St Helier South since 2022.
Coles was born in Jersey in the early 1980s, and attended Grainville School and Highlands College.[1][2] He first stood for election in 2018 as the Reform candidate for deputy of St Saviour No. 3, but was unsuccessful.[3] He stood for election again in 2022 as deputy for St Helier South, this time winning with a majority of 122 votes.[4]
In 2024, Coles brought a proposition to the States Assembly to decriminalise the possession of cannabis for recreational use by November 2025.[5] However, the proposition failed to pass by a single vote.[6]
