Andrew Adonis, Baron Adonis

Andrew Adonis, Baron Adonis PC (born Andreas Adonis, 22 February 1963) is a former British Labour Party politician, academic and journalist who served in the Labour Government for five years.
Adonis began his career as an academic at Oxford University, before becoming a journalist at the ''Financial Times'' and later ''The Observer''.〔〔 Adonis was appointed by Prime Minister Tony Blair to be an advisor at the Number 10 Policy Unit, specialising in constitutional and educational policy, in 1998. He was later promoted to become the Head of the Policy Unit from 2001 until being made a life peer in 2005, when he was appointed to the Government soon after as Minister of State for Education.〔 He remained in that role when Gordon Brown became Prime Minister in 2007, before becoming Minister of State for Transport in 2008. In 2009, he was promoted to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Transport, a position he held until 2010.〔(High Speed Rail – Command Paper ). Department for Transport, 11 March 2010, ISBN 9780101782722〕
Adonis has worked for a number of think tanks, is a board member of Policy Network and is the author or co-author of several books, including several studies of the British class system, the rise and fall of the Community Charge, and the Victorian House of Lords. He has also co-edited a collection of essays on Roy Jenkins. He was educated at Kingham Hill School and at Keble College and Nuffield College at Oxford.
==Family and education==
Adonis's father, Nikos, emigrated from Cyprus as a teenager, becoming a waiter in London, where he met Adonis's English mother. His mother left the family when he was three and has had no communication with him since.〔 Shortly thereafter, Adonis was placed in care and lived in a council children's home until the age of 11, when he was awarded a local education authority grant to attend Kingham Hill School, a boarding school in Oxfordshire.
After taking his A-levels, Adonis gained admittance to Keble College, Oxford, where he graduated with a First Class Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern History.〔''The Record'', page 21. Keble College, 1984〕 He subsequently graduated as a Doctor of Philosophy with a thesis on the British aristocracy of the late 19th century at Christ Church, before being appointed to a Fellowship in History and Politics at Nuffield College.〔〔
From 1991 to 1996, he was an education and industry correspondent at the ''Financial Times'', eventually becoming public policy editor.〔 In 1996, he moved to ''The Observer'' to work as a political columnist, leader writer and editor.〔
