I know she was not born in Leeds but I think it is worth noting that today a former Leeds schoolgirl became PM.
Who'd a thunk it!
Putting all politics aside, I wish Liz the best of luck . She and the country certainly need it.
The nearest we have come before to having a PM with West Yorks connections was Herbert Henry Asquith born in Morley, and Harold Wilson from Huddersfield.

I had to check Tilly and you are not mistaken.
Another famous former Fulneck pupil was Diana Rigg.
