Charlotte Owen: Former Boris Johnson aide becomes youngest ever peer after taking seat in House of Lords

Given that some people _inherited_ their seats in the House of Lords, it’s saying something if that’s historically true.
And before people start making snarky comments about her not deserving to be there, just stop and imagine what she probably *did* have to do to get that peerage.
Pity her.
Extract from article:
Ms Owen was born Charlotte Katherine Tranter in 1993 and gained a 2:1 in politics and international relations at the University of York in 2015.
She later worked as an intern at Portland – a strategic communications consultancy – before going on to work as a constituency intern for Tory MP William Wragg for one month.
After this she worked as a parliamentary intern to Mr Johnson for six months before becoming a parliamentary assistant to Alok Sharma for seven months.
For a year and nine months after this, she was a senior parliamentary assistant to Jake Berry and Mr Johnson, before exclusively working for the former prime minister for a year and two months.
From February 2021 to October 2022, Ms Owen was a special adviser to both Mr Johnson and Liz Truss during her short tenure as PM.
Ms Owen also reportedly worked for Liz Truss and the No 10 policy unit although this has been disputed.
It’s past time to abolish the Prime Minister’s Resignation Honours entirely. Appointments to the House of Lords should only be made by an independent board based on public, transparent, non-partisan, and merit-based criteria.
If she had any sort of self respect she’d have declined the “honour”. Clearly she’s cut from exactly the same cloth as the rest of the perfidious shits that make up the Conservative party. Why am I not surprised.
Sad this country is a joke they should scrap the Lords and kick the lot out.
Johnson really does have a very specific type doesn’t he?
Sixteen months of work and your sorted, and your kids etc. WOW what a fucking meritorious country
