The reason former prime minister Boris Johnson made Charlotte Owen the youngest ever life peer was finally revealed last night.

The former aide to the Tory leader was given a place in the Lords as part of Johnson’s resignation honours list, becoming Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge and sitting as a Conservative peer at the age of 30.

Johnson’s press spokesperson Ross Kempsell, then 31, also secured a place in the Lords at the same time.
