Background

Shawcross, a 27 year old Oxford graduate, worked for Boris Johnson during his 2008 mayoral election campaign, holding responsibility for writing large parts of his manifesto.[2] She is the daughter of historian William Shawcross and an "old friend" of neoconservative author Douglas Murray.[3]

Shawcross is a former management consultant. Her particular interest is in financial services and business growth: in opposition, she worked with Lord Sassoon (now a Treasury minister) to develop financial services policy and to cost Conservative policy options. [4]
