Following the Second World War, Taylor's grandparents on both sides moved to Hemel Hempstead[3] and his parents were born and raised there. Taylor represented Hemel Hempstead in the UK Youth Parliament from 2001 to 2003.[4]
Prior to being elected to parliament, Taylor worked for an international charity aimed at improving wages in developing countries.[5] In 2009, Taylor founded the Labour Campaign for International Development, and later sat as its vice-chair.[6]
In May 2026, he implored the Home Office to revoke the visa of progressive US streamer Hasan Piker over his criticisms of Israel. Days later, both Piker and Cenk Uygur were not allowed entry into the UK to speak at SXSW London Festival.[7] [8]
