== Early life ==
Born in London on 17 May 1950, the son of Stephen and Lillian Johnson, he was orphaned at the age of 12 when his mother died. Johnson was then in effect brought up by his older sister Linda when the two were assigned a council flat by their child welfare officer.〔(The charming Mr Johnson ), ''The Economist'', 14 September 2006〕 Linda, then herself only 16, has since been recognised as the hero of Johnson's poignant 2013 memoir ''This Boy: A Memoir of a Childhood''.〔(Guardian review of ''This Boy: A Memoir of a Childhood'' )〕
He passed the 11 plus exam and attended Sloane Grammar school in Chelsea, now part of Pimlico Academy, and left school at the age of 15.〔 He then stacked shelves at Tesco before becoming a postman at 18.〔 He was interested in music and joined two pop music bands.〔 Johnson joined the Union of Communication Workers, becoming a branch official. He joined the Labour Party in 1971, although he considered himself a Marxist ideologically aligned with the Communist Party of Great Britain. A full-time union official from 1987, he became General Secretary of the union in 1992.
Before entering parliament Johnson was a member of Labour's National Executive Committee. During this time he was the only major union leader to support the abolition of Clause IV.
