Personal life

Toffolo was born on 23 October 1994 in Torquay, Devon to scrap-metal dealer Gary Bennett and property manager Nicola Toffolo.[3][4][5] Raised in Devon and London, she attended Stoodley Knowle Independent School for Girls, Torquay Girls' Grammar School, The Maynard School, and Blundell's School.[6] She has revealed that she was bullied at school and, after telling her father, was moved to Blundell's as a boarder.[7] She then started an LLB degree in law and politics at the University of Westminster, with an ambition to work in commercial law, but dropped out (although several newspapers have reported that she managed to complete a law degree).[8] She then worked in a charity shop, an old people's home, a family-run firm of solicitors in Devon, and London law firm Family Law in Partnership.[2]

Toffolo has been a member of the Conservative Party since she was in secondary school.[9] Toffolo has stated with regard to her political views, "I believe that the traditions of our country should be upheld and I'm a real advocate of business. I can't comprehend why someone my age would support the Labour Party."[9]
