Early life and education[edit]

Bush is mixed race with Jewish heritage.^[1] He was educated at Morpeth School, a state comprehensive school in Bethnal Green in East End of London, followed by Balliol College at the University of Oxford,^[2] where he studied history.

At university, he was a member of the Oxford University Labour Club and volunteered for Andy Burnham's unsuccessful campaign to become Labour Party leader in 2010.^[3]^[4] Bush matriculated in 2008 and graduated in 2011.^[5] He supports Arsenal football club.^[6]

Career[edit]

Bush worked for the magazine Progress (linked to the organisation of the same name) before writing for The Daily Telegraph, including working on the Morning Briefing email as editorial assistant to Benedict Brogan.^[7] He joined the New Statesman from the Telegraph in February 2015.^[8]^[9] Later that year, he was the first political commentator to predict Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader after obtaining leaked internal poll data.^[8]^[10]

He has appeared on the BBC's current affairs programme Newsnight, commenting on UK politics,^[11] and was tipped as an outsider to succeed Nick Robinson as the BBC's political editor in 2015, a position that eventually went to Laura Kuenssberg.^[12]

He has written for The Guardian, The Telegraph, i and New Statesman.^[13]^[14]

From 2016 to 2017, he contributed a weekly column to The Guardian's Lifestyle pages on cooking, called "The Delia Project", where he recounted his efforts to relearn cookery skills using only Delia Smith's Delia's Complete How to Cook.^[15]

In December 2018 he was appointed political editor of the New Statesman, while also writing a fortnightly column for the i newspaper.^[16]^[17] He eventually left the publication in February 2022 to become a columnist and associate editor at the Financial Times, where as of February 2022^[update] he continues to write a morning political briefing email.^[18]^[19]

Other activities[edit]

On 8 June 2020 he was appointed to chair the Board of Deputies of British Jews' Commission on Racial Inclusivity in the Jewish Community.^[20]^[21]^[22]^[23] He recommended that the Jewish community adopt a "proactive attitude to inclusion" to draw in "people of all backgrounds who have felt marginalised, left out or turned off from Jewish life".^[24]^[25]

Awards[edit]

In 2015 Bush received a commendation and was runner-up in the Young Journalist of the Year awards category in the Press Awards.^[5]

In 2017, he was awarded the Political Studies Association's Journalist of the Year award.^[13]
