Rand attended the private, fee-paying Wisbech Grammar School in Cambridgeshire.[2] He received a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of East Anglia in 2014, where he subsequently worked as the student union's undergraduate education officer.[3]
Rand worked as an organiser for Labour Students, and later as a regional organiser for the Labour Party. He was a senior researcher at the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW) prior to his election to Parliament.[2][4]
Shortly before the 2024 general election, Labour's National Executive Committee selected Rand to contest Altrincham and Sale West.[5] The previous candidate had resigned due to personal circumstances.[2] He became the first Labour MP to represent the constituency upon his election, gaining the seat from the Conservatives.[6]
In September 2024, Rand voted in favour of scrapping the £300 a year winter fuel allowance to pensioners.[7]
Rand has a son and his partner, Catherine, is a primary school teacher.[8] He does not live in his constituency and lives in Didsbury, Manchester.[5] He is a supporter of Norwich City Football Club[9]
