Keir Mather is a British Labour Party politician who was elected as Member of Parliament at the 2023 Selby and Ainsty by-election. At the age of 25, Mather became the youngest MP in the House of Commons.[1]

Education

Keir Mather has a first class honours degree in History and Politics from Oxford University (2016-2019),[2] and a post-graduate Master of Public Policy degree from the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.[3]

Whilst studying at Oxford University, Mather worked as a Researcher for the ex-Tory MP for West Derbyshire turned writer and broadcaster Matthew Parris.[4]

Inbetweeners jibe

The mother of new Labour MP Keir Mather has defended his young age after Veterans' Affairs Minister Johnny Mercer compared him to a character from "The Inbetweeners".

Jill Tambarros insisted her son, 25, has "seen something of life" as she reacted to his victory in the Selby and Ainsty by-election:

"He does not appear to be like a 25-year-old - he's confident, he's mature, he's got a good head on his shoulders.
"He's got experience in parliament with Wes Streeting and he's been working with the CBI as well so he's done a lot.
"Plus he's done other things, like working in a cafe, working on the street selling paella, chopping up meat in a butcher's van, so he has seen something of life.
"And living on a student grant is quite hard as well so you really do have to budget, so it's not as if he hasn't ever done anything, so I think he's got a lot to offer.

Future PM?

Asked if he could become prime minister one day, Ms Tambarros said:

"Why not? Never say never. He's 25, he's really excelled so far, so what's to stop him excelling further? He's got a lot of time to do it."[5]
