'Britain's tallest Tory' visits Aylesbury Vale during Kemi Badenoch's 'emergency summit'

McAlpine, 22, who stands at 7ft 2in, was pictured towering over his political heroine, 5ft 4in Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, during a visit to Fleet Marston Farm in Aylesbury.

The Oxford Brookes student, dubbed the “Never Ending Tory”, has become a familiar figure within the party due to his remarkable height, and joined farmers and MPs for discussions about food production in the UK.

The emergency food and farming summit was called by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who said the country’s farming sector is at a tipping point.

She heard from farmers across Buckinghamshire and stressed that the challenges facing rural communities must not be overlooked.

Local farmers raised concerns about inheritance tax, rural crime and rising energy costs, issues they said were placing growing pressure on the sector.

Ms Badenoch appeared alongside Shadow Secretary for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Victoria Atkins, with both taking questions from farmers.

Mid Buckinghamshire MP Greg Smith also spoke, saying the “family farm tax” was causing his constituents widespread anxiety.

The Scottish-born student has risen to prominence after being spotted at a range of high-profile events, including Cheltenham and Henley.

McAlpine, who is studying for a BA in business management, has said he hopes to work in City finance to gain real-world experience before entering politics.

He has indicated that he aims to begin as a Conservative councillor, with the long-term ambition of becoming an MP and potentially taking on more senior roles later on in his career.

Coming from a notably tall family, with a mother who is 6ft 5in and a late father who was 6ft 9in, McAlpine would surpass the current Guinness World Record for the tallest politician if he were ever elected to office.
