A literary influencer, described as the “internet’s resident librarian”, is well known for his videos about books, publishing and encouraging young people to read.
The 27-year-old has gained over two million followers across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
Ciara Alleyne, co-chair of the Young Greens, was also featured in the list.
The 22-year-old Brighton woman was the first person of colour to hold the role since the organisation was founded in 2002.
Now studying for a master’s at Imperial College London, Ms Alleyne has spoken out about representation and the need for greater diversity in politics.
