I can understand the suspicion of those who see climate action as some sort of cover for anti-growth, anti-capitalist, proto-socialism.~ Amber Rudd, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change[1]
Known for being a well-connected Cameron A-Lister.
Life and Career[edit | edit source]
Early Life[edit | edit source]
From 1974-1979, Amber was educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College, Queen's College, London and the University of Edinburgh.
Pre-political Career[edit | edit source]
After graduating from Edinburgh University, Amber worked for JP Morgan in venture capital. She then set up her own consultancy business.
Early Political Career[edit | edit source]
She stood unsucessfully in the 2005 election. Following the Conservative Party leadership election of 2005, Amber was added to David Cameron's "A-List" and was given the swing seat of Hastings and Rye which she won in the 2010 general election.
Parliamentary Career[edit | edit source]
Amber worked on a few issues before she was given the promotion to Cabinet, including campaiging against FGM and in favour of manfatory sex and relationships education. She also called for more women in Cabinet and served as George Osborne's PPS for a time.
In 2013 she appeared to say that all her constituents were on benefits and moved to be by the seaside because it's a nice place to get drunk and do drugs, which annoyed a lot of people that she represented, but she assured everyone it was just a mixup and of course she didn't mean her constituents!
After her promotion to Secretary of State for cliamte change, a proposal came forward regarding a nuclear power plant which she had to decide on. Despite changes to the Register of Members' Interests (to include family members when considering potential conflicts) Amber failed to mention that her borther was representing the construction firm who would build the nuclear plant and who was attempting to lobby the government towards a favourable decision for the proposed plant. The same issue had occured regarding plans to store natural gas in Lancashire. It was later confirmed that Amber would not be making the final decision regarding either issue so the potential conflict of interest didn't matter anyway.

| • Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change (11 May 2015 - present) |
Personal Life[edit | edit source]
Amber married A.A. Gill in 1990. They had two children together before splitting in 1995 and later divorcing.
"Aristocracy Co-ordinator"[edit | edit source]
Amber worked on the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, working behind the scenes and appearing in the film itself. Her job was to arrange extras for scenes, and so she was dubed the "aristocracy co-ordinator" for her efforts. The press had a great day when this came to light, in particular with reference to the fact that her party leader David Cameron's family tree includes links to the British royal family.
Portrayal[edit | edit source]
In the Media[edit | edit source]
Not much is made of Amber Rudd, apart from the fact that she's the typical Cameroon A-List Tory with luvvie and banker links and a habit of not declaring potential conflicts of interest - you know, the usual.
In Fanon[edit | edit source]
Amber has yet to appear in fic or make that much of an impact in fandom.
