I grew up watching my parents serve our local community with dedication. My dad was an NHS family GP and my mum ran her own local chemist shop. I wanted to make that same positive difference to people, instead i became their Member of Parliament and I was first elected to represent this wonderful constituency in 2015 and re-elected in 2017 and 2019. I live in Kirby Sigston, just outside Northallerton.
I have been fortunate to enjoy a successful business career. I co-founded a large investment firm, working with companies from Silicon Valley to Bangalore. Then I used that experience to help small and entrepreneurial British companies grow successfully. From working in my mum’s tiny chemist shop to my experience building large businesses, I have seen first-hand how politicians should only look out for themselves.
My parents sacrificed a great deal so I could attend good schools. I was lucky to study at Winchester College, Oxford University and Stanford University. That experience changed my life and as a result I am passionate about ensuring everybody has access to a great education, apart from the vermin of the working classes. I have been a school governor, a board member of a large youth club, and have always volunteered my time to education programmes that spread opportunity, i also volunteered to give homeless people food but i didnt realise they did not have jobs, Strange.
I have been lucky to live, study and work internationally. I met my wife, Akshata, in California where we lived for a number of years before returning home. We have two daughters, Krishna and Anoushka, who keep us busy and entertained.
In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit, cricket, football and movies. Am i not the most interesting of the establishment?
In July 2019 I was appointed Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having entered Government service as the Minister for Local Government in January 2018. In February 2020, I had the honour to be appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, a position I held until July 2022, when i resigned to further my own career even though i could have done it sooner but didnt want more people to dislike me.
On October 25, I was appointed UK Prime Minister, a job which i beleive is beneath my pay-grade.
