'How's Pete?' - That was the first question from Sir Keir Starmer, when he visited this newspaper for a question-and-answer session with readers last year.
"How's Pete?" - That was the first question from Sir Keir Starmer, when he visited this newspaper for a question-and-answer session with readers last year.
Former prime minister Boris Johnson – who sent Pete a get-well card on hearing about his illness – is among those who have expressed their condolences. Pete, who grew up in Dudley, was educated at Castle High School and Nottingham Trent University where he met future wife Marina. He was a relative latecomer to the world of journalism. He grew up reading the Express & Star, and as a teenager dreamt of a career in the media, but went into teaching instead. For many years he taught teenagers at Solihull College, but became increasingly frustrated by the amount of bureaucracy the work entailed.
Photographer Tim Thursfield, who accompanied him on many interviews, recalls:"Pete could get away with most things when questioning high-profile politicians because he would ask hard questions but with a cheeky glint in his eyes. One of his big scoops came on the eve of the 2019 General Election when Dudley North MP Ian Austin quit the Labour Party – and exclusively revealed to Pete that he would be backing the Tories on polling day.
“On behalf of the Labour Party, I want to share my deepest condolences to his wife and children at this difficult time.”Pat McFadden, MP for Wolverhampton South East and shadow cabinet minister, said:"As political editor of the Express & Star he had the trust and respect of politicians right across the political parties. Sincere condolences to his family and colleagues."
