As Britain's first MP to be born in the 21st Century, Labour 's Sam Carling is now the youngest Commons member, leading him to affectionately be known as the 'Baby of the House'.
It's a common complaint from younger generations that the politicians of today rarely understand life from their point of view.
His parents were even among the crowd as he gave his victory speech in the early hours of Friday morning, following a dramatic recount, and were there to drive him home when they left just after 6am. Sam is a fan of the occasional meal deal, with two mains as his go to - a coronation chicken sandwich or a plant-based hoisin duck wrap. But he says Fridge Raiders and a Dr Pepper are always a must for his choice of a snack and a drink
Speaking to student magazine Varsity, he said he only really tucks into chicken and fish, adding: 'I used to go and feed ducks a lot when I was a kid so I will not eat duck. Ever.' Describing himself as a 'serial multitasker', ambitious Mr Carling was forced to balance his studies with his fledging political career at university.
During his time studying for a degree, the aspiring politician also claimed to have uncovered an issue with Cambridge's Student Union's data collection systems which he said had inadvertently 'outed countless' LGBTQ students. Sharing a series of pictures of the abuse he claimed to have receive on X, Sam said: 'I'm sometimes asked for my views on why we can't get more young people to stand for office, with only 2% of councillors under 30.
