Alan Johnson from WikiPedia:
Alan Arthur Johnson (born 17 May 1950) is a British Labour Party politician and the current Home Secretary. He has been the Member of Parliament for Hull West and Hessle since 1997. Johnson has filled a wide variety of Cabinet positions, such as both Health and Education Secretary. In 2004, he became the first former trade union leader to become a Cabinet Minister since Frank Cousins in 1964.
Born in London, and orphaned at the age of 12 when his mother died, Johnson was then effectively brought up by his older sister when the two were assigned a council flat by their child welfare officer. He passed the 11 plus exam and attended Sloane Grammar School in Chelsea and left school at the age of 15. He then stacked shelves at Tesco before becoming a postman at 18.
