Sarah Anne-Marie Bool (born 1987 or 1988) is a British Conservative Party politician and non-practising solicitor who has been the Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire since the July 2024 general election.

Early life and education

Bool is the daughter of Kenneth and Maureen Bool and has two siblings. She grew up in Rutland and attended English Martyrs Primary School in Oakham and Stamford High School. Bool read modern history at Oriel College, Oxford before completing a law conversion course at the College of Law in London before embarking on her legal training. Her father, Ken Bool, was a Conservative councillor on Rutland County Council.

Political career

In the 2019 general election she stood as the Conservative candidate for Vauxhall, coming third behind Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

In the 2024 general election she succeeded Andrea Leadsom as MP for South Northamptonshire. Bool is chair of the executive committee of the Society of Conservative Lawyers.

Bool has type 1 diabetes, only being diagnosed aged 33. Bool called in Parliament for a paediatric screening programme for the disease in order to protect children from diabetic ketoacidosis and the risk to life this poses. The topic was the subject of her first speaking opportunity at Prime Minister’s Questions. Bool has also given evidence to the Modernisation Committee about difficulties managing her condition alongside Parliamentary procedure.

In April 2025, Bool visited the Falkland Islands as part of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme.

Locally, Bool has been critical of plans to develop Green Hill Solar Farm.
