Original Note:
This is not an unknown or unusual occurrence. Some previous "young MPs" include Gladstone who entered Parliament aged 22, Lord Salisbury was elected at 23, while Churchill, Balfour and Benn were only 25 when they first sat in the Commons. David Steel was 26; Roy Jenkins 27. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/house-of-commons-trends-the-age-of-mps/
