Peter John Goodair – 2022 NEC Candidate Statement

The candidate statement from Peter John Goodair.

Candidate Statement

I have been a lifelong supporter of the Labour Party. I am passionate about the need to bring about a fairer society, remove poverty and homelessness and address the underlying factors causing them. As a member of the NEC I will argue strongly for policies that will help deliver these objectives as well as improving the health and wellbeing of disadvantaged citizens. I also believe in the importance of improving public transport and implementing measures to combat climate change. I believe in the need for progressive taxation so that those who are well off bear a larger share of the tax burden. I have held significant roles in Whitehall including policy formulation in environment and health and safety and have a strong understanding of the machinery of government.
