Iain's red - Labour, Liverpool and Wales. Before joining YouTube, Iain worked for PR Consultancy Ogilvy and the Labour Party, including serving as an adviser to James Purnell and then Prime Minister Gordon Brown in Downing Street.
He went to Warwick School and then studied government at the LSE. Initially he viewed politics as “a fun game to play during [his] spare time”. While at the London School of Economics he edited the student union magazine, The Beaver, and in 2003 became Labour Students’ national secretary. There, he was quoted in The Guardian as saying “I’m no Bush fan – I hate the fucker in fact.”
Then came jobs on comms inside Labour - sent to Scotland during the 2007 election and the 2008 Glasgow East by-election. He joined DWP as a special adviser in November 2008, and then was press spokesman for Brown during the 2010 General Election Campaign.
He spent most of the recent General Election night tweeting congratulations to old and new chums.
