Alex Phillips husband-British journalist and former politician, Alexandra Lesley Phillips was born on December 26th, 1983 in Gloucester.
She received her early schooling at Sir Thomas Rich’s School in Gloucester and Denmark Road High School, both grammar institutions. At St. Mary’s College, Durham University, she majored in English literature and philosophy, and at Cardiff University, she majored in broadcast journalism.
While covering the 2007 National Assembly for Wales election as a student journalist, Phillips produced a movie about the UK Independence Party (UKIP).
She claimed that this event had a significant role in her decision to later join the party because she was enamored with the charisma of the party’s then-leader Nigel Farage and agreed with the party’s stances on the extension of grammar schools, supporting fracking, and Euroscepticism.
Phillips had previously worked as a regional journalist for ITV and later BBC Wales before joining UKIP.
Alex Phillips career
For three years, Phillips served as UKIP’s media director. She quit UKIP around the same time as Farage soon after the 2016 British referendum on EU membership, in which she supported Brexit, and joined the Conservatives in September, a few weeks after Theresa May had been chosen as party leader.
She continued working for Nathan Gill, a Welsh Assembly member and UKIP MEP who had switched to independence in the Assembly after Neil Hamilton defeated him for the post of group leader.
She cited her appreciation for the then-Prime Minister Theresa May’s views on Brexit, grammar schools, fracking, and the squabbling within UKIP as the basis for her decision to join the Conservative Party.
The Brexit Party officially announced Phillips as their candidate for the South East England constituency in the European parliamentary elections in May 2019.
In the same district, a Green Party candidate by the name of Alexandra Phillips ran. In the election, both were chosen.
Less than a week following the election, on May 30, 2019, Phillips made an appearance on the Question Time panel for the BBC.
In July of the same year, Phillips acknowledged working for Cambridge Analytica’s parent business, SCL Group, on the successful 2017 reelection campaign of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Although she had previously denied it, she now claims that SCL subcontracted out the work she did for Cambridge Analytica.
The British political consulting business Cambridge Analytica was shut down in 2018 when it was discovered that it had illegally collected the data of millions of Facebook users for political advertising.
Phillips served on the development committee and was a member of the delegation for relations with South Africa in the European Parliament.
On August 2, 2019, Phillips was chosen to represent Southampton Itchen as the Brexit Party’s prospective parliamentary candidate (PPC).
The Brexit Party, however, said on November 11th, 2019, that it would not run in seats now held by Conservatives. The next day, Phillips declared that because she felt “disenfranchised” by her party, she would not be casting a ballot in the general election.
When the UK left the EU in January 2020, her time as an MEP came to an end. She began working for Richard Tice, the party’s leader, at Reform UK (the successor to the Brexit Party), in February 2023.
Phillips is a talkRADIO presenter who also contributes to The Daily Telegraph. Between June and August 2021, she co-hosted an afternoon show on GB News with Simon McCoy.
In August 2021, McCoy received her own show, The Afternoon Agenda, after switching to the breakfast program. She departed GB News in September 2022 after the cancellation of her show.
