Peter Whittle Biography

Peter Whittle is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on January 6, 1961 in Peckham, Peckham, ****. Whittle was born in the General Lying-in Hospital in Waterloo, London, one of Great Britain’s first maternity hospitals. Shortly after his birth Whittle’s family moved across South East London, from Peckham to Shooter’s Hill. Whittle attended the John Roan School, a grammar school for boys founded in 1677, making it one of the oldest state schools in the country. After John Roan, Whittle studied at Orpington College and the University of Kent (BA History and Politics). Between 1991 and 2003 he worked as a TV producer and director of arts and factual programmes for ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 in the United Kingdom, including a prolonged stint at the long-running TV arts series The South Bank Show, as well as USA Network and Fox Broadcasting Company in the United States of America, living for five years in Los Angeles.

Whittle became UKIP’s cultural spokesman in 2013 and stood for Eltham at the 2015 general election, coming third with 15% of the vote, a vote share surpassing both the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.

On 12 October 2016, Whittle announced his intention to stand for UKIP leader following the resignation of Diane James after just 18 days; however, on reflection, he decided to stand for the position of deputy leader instead and was duly successful in this candidature. On 28 November 2016, it was announced that Whittle was the new Deputy Leader of UKIP, replacing Paul Nuttall, then newly appointed as Party Leader. Following the election of Henry Bolton as leader of UKIP in October 2017, Whittle left the role of deputy leader and was appointed UKIP spokesman for London affairs. He resigned as London spokesman on 22 January 2018, following Bolton’s refusal to stand down after a vote of no confidence in his leadership by UKIP’s National Executive Committee.

Whittle was UKIP’s candidate for the 2016 London mayoral election, which was held at the same time as the Assembly elections. He served as the party’s Deputy Leader between November 2016 and October 2017 and was a prominent, if unsuccessful, candidate in the 2017 UKIP leadership campaign.

In 2006 Whittle founded the New Culture Forum, a think tank whose mission is described as “challenging the cultural orthodoxies dominant in the media, academia, education, and British culture in its widest sense.” Speakers at NCF events, including for its annual keynote Smith Lecture, have included Martin Amis, Dame Vivien Westwood, Jeremy Hunt MP, Michael Gove MP, Nigel Farage MEP, Justin Webb, Sir Anthony Seldon, Petroc Trelawny, Ed Vaizey MP, Melanie Philips, Brendan O’Neil and Owen Jones. Writers for the New Culture Forum have included Douglas Murray, Julie Bindel, Ed West, and Dennis Sewell.
