Alice Sinclaire

Alice Violet Sinclaire is the Independent MP for the constituency of Keighley; elected in a 1980 by-election after the former Labour MP Jane Davidson-Bercow was placed in a coma.

Early Life
Sinclaire was born in Richmond, North Yorkshire, daughter to Lord Richard Sinclaire and his wife Lady Anne Sinclaire.

The youngest of seven, Sinclaire boarded and attended Queen's College in the South West.

As a child Sinclaire was fascinated by space and it was whilst visiting the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex aged 12 that she first decided that she wanted to be an Astronaut. This dream was dashed whilst talking to her father who stated that women could never be Astronauts. Sinclaire later said in an interview that this was the "first taste of how the world was a cruel and nasty place".

Aged 13 she joined the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) whilst still at school.

At age 16 her life took a sharp detour when she found out she was pregnant. Going against the advice of friends and family she choose to keep the baby. Sinclaire says this was a strange time. It was the lowest point of her life, "My friends and family didn't like the fact I wouldn't get an abortion, so they shunned me and I had to take a year out of school to take care of Lydia (her child), I moved to this damp and mouldy council estate with neighbours who would play music until 4am in the morning and didn't care i had an infant baby who needed to sleep. But that said. I'm glad i moved there, i'm glad i got kicked out of my parents house, because i met the most amazing people in that small estate."

Eventually with the help of her older sister Charlotte, Sinclaire went back to school a year later and finished school with four As at Levels, going on to get a First at Oxford in Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

After University Alice briefly worked as an intern at the Times before being elected MP for Keighley in 1980.

In 1980, Admiral Arthur Hunter (VC MC), her boyfriend for two years proposed to her, which she accepted.
