    Hands Off Portsmouth!

    The Labour Government wants to strip Portsmouth, the UK's only island city, of its identity and independence - merging it with Gosport, Fareham, and Havant. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves' plan will punish our city for our good financial footing by forcing us to pay off Hampshire's growing debt.

    Theatre for Every Child

    I know the first hand the life changing and life saving power of theatre, which is why I'm pleased to back UK Theatre and the Society of London Theatre's #TheatreForEveryChild campaign which calls upon the government to invest in the future of our world-leading art sector by ensuring every child has the chance to go to the theatre by the time they leave secondary school.

A Proud Trade Unionist

Peter joined the trade union movement when he was 16, joining the National Union of Journalists while training and working at The News, Portsmouth's daily newpaper.

He then joined Bectu, the union for creative ambition, one of the leading unions for people working in the creative industries.
