Johnny Mercer Biography

Johnny Mercer is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 17, 1981 in Kent, Kent, United Kingdom. John Mercer was born in Dartford on 17 August 1981. The son of a banker and a nurse, he grew up in a strict Baptist family with seven siblings. Between 1995 and 2000, he was educated at Eastbourne College, a co-educational independent school in Eastbourne in East Sussex. After completing school, he worked as an intern in the City of London instead of attending university, following an offer from a friend’s relative.

In November 2015, he was criticised by the TaxPayers’ Alliance after it was revealed he had purchased five Apple iMac computers on his Commons expenses, rather than ‘cheaper equivalents’. Mercer responded that the purchases were appropriate and ‘were cheaper than the desktop computers offered to MPs by the House of Commons’ official supplier’. He was criticised in May 2016 for claiming £2,500 on expenses for “professional services” on social media management, and in December 2017 the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority opened an investigation to determine whether Mercer had been paid business expenses he should not have been.

He was first elected to the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Plymouth Moor View at the 2015 general election; defeating the incumbent Labour MP, Alison Seabeck. Mercer delivered his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 1 June 2015, describing his “main missions” in Parliament to be improving provision for mental health and support for war veterans. He has been critical of the Iraq Historic Allegations Team.

On a summer boat trip in 2016, he saved the life of fellow Conservative MP Scott Mann who fell into the water having previously been “ashamed to admit” he could not swim.

Mercer has said publicly that he had not been politically active in his younger years and the first time he voted was for himself when he first ran for office. He said that he entered politics with a view to improving the care of veterans and felt that he was a Conservative because he regarded a “massive welfare state that saps the ambition and drive of a younger generation” as a problem. After contacting ex-military Conservative MP Bob Stewart, he was selected as the Conservative Party candidate for Plymouth Moor View two months after leaving the army in February 2014.
