The first and last entries from his Wikepedia bio..
'The younger son of the former BBC Director General Alasdair Milne, Milne attended Winchester College and read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Balliol College, Oxford, and Economics at Birkbeck College, London University. His sister, Kirsty, who died in July 2013, was an academic and former journalist.[9]
After graduating from Oxford University, Milne was the business manager of Straight Left, a monthly publication of the faction within the Communist Party of Great Britain which wanted the CP, according to Michael Mosbacher, to remain "on a solidly Stalinist path".'
'Milne married Cristina Montanari, an Italian-born director of an
advertising firm, in 1992. The couple have two, now adult children, a
son and daughter, who were educated at selective grammar schools.'
Not so much 'Champagne Socialist' as 'Champagne Communist' then.
Ho hum..
