BOURNEMOUTH politicians past, present and future met in the town yesterday.

Lord Eden, who as John Eden was Bournemouth West MP between 1954 and 1983, returned to the town in support of Conservative parliamentary candidate Conor Burns, and also met with Jasminn Osborne, who is Bournemouth’s member of the UK Youth Parliament.

They discussed Lord Eden’s time as MP and he also asked Jasminn, 17, about whether enough young people were interested in politics.

Jasminn, from Winton, told the nephew of former Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden that the subject needed to be properly involved in the curriculum.

She added that it was a useful experience to meet Lord Eden and Mr Burns.
