Peter Mason (politician)
Peter Elijah Jonathan Mason (born Peter Robert Ness) is a British Labour politician and town planner[1] who, since May 2021, is the leader of Ealing London Borough Council.[2] He was first elected to Ealing Council in 2014. He was previously Ealing's Cabinet Member for Housing, Planning & Transformation and, from 2013 to 2021, National Secretary of the Jewish Labour Movement.[1][3][4]
Mason is the former director of London Jewish Forum. Following a report by former Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti that recommended a transfer of powers to the Labour Party's National Constitutional Committee (NCC), he was elected to the NCC (which now handles disciplinary cases).[5] In September 2024 he was elected to the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party.[6]
