Did anyone ( or partner) go to school with any of the MPs?

Straight up - I didn’t …..though my mom was at school with Dennis Skinner. I just wonder what a young Priti Patel or Nadine Dorries was like.
Any Victorians about who swapped homework with Rees Mogg or bunked off PE with Jess Phillips.

A friend of DH was in school with Lembit Öpek, ex of the Lib Dems and married a Cheeky Girl.

I briefly dated a minor MP 25 years ago. That was a blast from the past when he ended up in the news! I had to Google to check it wasn't just a random name coincidence.

Oh, and to your question. Very clever, slightly socially awkward, but probably prime MP material.

Interested in this thread?

I very briefly dated a current LibDem backbencher when I was at uni 20 years ago.

He was a bit of a prick then, much more of a prick now.

2 of my former classmates are Tory backbenchers. Both were irritating but unremarkable in secondary school. One became heavily involved with the charismatic wing of the C of E. He and his wife got together in Sixth Form.

My DH went to school with Rishi- same year group but different house. He says he was fiercely intelligent and perfectly nice.

We are just shocked to be old enough to potentially have a peer as PM.
