I never know much about political figures so I did a quick search and thought I'd share a summary here. Any corrections or comments welcome (I put this together myself based on a couple of articles so I may well have missed stuff)

• funded his way through university by doing shifts in the customer service department at Comet.
• became President of Cambridge University Students’ Union, and then President of the National Union of Students from 2008 to 2010
• under his presidency, the NUS - previously considered left wing - took a turn to the right, notably changing stance to accept the principle of paid-for higher education
