One of the few academics in government, Professor Bew works across foreign affairs, defence and Northern Ireland policy for Number Ten. Bew also has a key role in cultivating links between Number Ten – and specifically the prime minister – and the Biden administration. Before becoming a Spad, Bew was Professor of History and Foreign Policy at King’s College London, a contributing editor to the New Statesman and the author of five books, including the acclaimed Citizen Clem: A Life of Atlee. His father is Lord Bew, who was a key figure in advising Nobel Prize laureate and unionist leader David Trimble in the run-up to the Belfast agreement.
