Nigel Farage could be banned from hosting his GB News show with Labour eyeing up a crackdown on MPs making paid media appearances.
Parliament's Modernisation Committee, which is being chaired by Labour frontbencher Lucy Powell, today published a memorandum agreeing to look at tightening rules on second jobs.
Labour committed to establishing the new committee in its 2024 manifesto as it vowed to reform House of Commons procedures.
The 14-member committee - which includes nine Labour MPs, three Tories and two Liberal Democrats - met for the first time yesterday.
It vowed to look at outside paid engagements, including media appearances.
The committee will examine "whether paid outside engagements such as MP media appearances, journalism and speeches provide a benefit to the public or present a conflict of interest".
A clampdown could put GB News shows hosted by Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson at risk.
Do you think this is the latest bid by the Labour government to silence its critics in the Reform party?
