He studied Computer Science at university, and has said of his background that "I come from a very working-class family. My dad’s a welder and my grandpa was a miner."[4] His family was not very political, although they voted Labour, and "he didn’t know a single person who was a member of a political party when he joined", according to LabourList.[4]
