Quote:
Berger has previously been reported to have had relationships with Siôn Simon, Labour MP for Birmingham Erdington until 2010 and Chucka Umunna, Labour MP for Streatham
Born in Wembley, Berger was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls, a private school in Elstree, Hertfordshire, followed by the University of Birmingham, where she obtained a degree in Commerce and Spanish and spent a year studying in ICADE in Madrid, and Birkbeck College at the University of London, where she took a part-time Masters degree in Government, Politics and Policy.
Berger's selection for Liverpool Wavertree was controversial within the local Labour party. Berger lived during the selection process for about a month at the home of Jane Kennedy, then the sitting MP, whose boyfriend was the Labour official, Peter Dowling, who ran the selection process. The completed ballot papers were returned to Kennedy's home address. Berger was selected as Labour candidate for Liverpool Wavertree by 94 votes, defeating her nearest rival Wendy Simon who got 50 votes.
During the run-up to the General Election, in January 2010, the Liverpool Echo tested Berger with a four-question quiz on Liverpool life and history. She scored two out of four, not knowing who performed Ferry Cross the Mersey and not recognising the name of former Liverpool F.C. manager, Bill Shankly
According to the Liverpool Echo, on 31 October 2010, Berger "sparked outrage online" after appearing in a Radio Five Live show, which also featured former editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie. MacKenzie was editor at the time of the Hillsborough disaster, and the paper's coverage of the story led to a widespread boycott of the paper on Merseyside that lasts to this day, and vilification of MacKenzie.
