The RNLI is a charity that exists to save lives at sea. But recent events have generated deliberate misinformation and a misunderstanding about their purpose and lifesaving work.
As a result, some of their volunteers and staff have been the subject of online and, in some cases, physical abuse. The Portsmouth Lifeboat Station is currently closed as a result of this and the violent disorder.
I have met with the RNLI Chief Executive to offer my full support for their vital work and continue to liaise with our local Lifeboat team.
The RNLI's people represent the very best of society and our city. They dedicate themselves to rescuing people they've never met before, without judgment, fear or favour.
