Personal life

Toffolo was born on 23 October 1994 in Torquay to Gary Bennett and Nicola Toffolo.[3][4][5] Raised in London and Devon, she attended Stoodley Knowle Independent School for Girls, Torquay Girls' Grammar School, The Maynard School, and Blundell's School.[6] She then started an LLB degree at the University of Westminster, with an ambition to work in commercial law, but then dropped out (although several newspapers have reported that she managed to complete a law degree).[7] She then worked in a charity shop, an old people's home, a family-run firm of solicitors in Devon, and then law firm Family Law in Partnership in London.[2]

Toffolo has been a member of the Conservative Party since she was in secondary school.[8] Because of her Conservative politics, she has been dubbed "Boris [Johnson] in a bikini".[9] When asked by The Sunday Times which politicians she admires, she replied "The standard: Zac Goldsmith, Jacob Rees-Mogg. I fancy them all. Jacob's a sex god."[9]
