Early life

Born in 1995, Ivers sees herself as both English and Scottish:[6]

I was born in England. I was educated in England. I have an English accent. To any impartial observer, I am English. However, my family live in a small town just outside of Glasgow. I have four sisters and a stepmother who are all indisputably Scottish. My father has an English accent, but has lived on the west coast of Scotland for as long as I can remember. When I talk about visiting them, I talk about going home.

She attended Dean Close School, a private boarding school in Gloucestershire. She was head of school and commanded the RAF section of the school's Combined Cadet Force.[7]

She studied philosophy at Pembroke College, Cambridge.[8][9] While there, she wrote for Varsity and The Tab, and was elected president of the Cambridge Union.[10][11][12]

Career

Ivers worked as a special advisor for Theresa May's government.[13]

She is currently political correspondent at Times Radio and a columnist for The Sunday Times.[4]

Ivers has made television appearances on Question Time and Have I Got News for You.[13][14]

Personal life

She was formerly in a relationship with Conservative MP Richard Holden; they started dating in November 2016 when both were working as special advisers.[15][16]
