Nigel Farage and other MPs may face restrictions on hosting media programs, as the newly formed Commons Modernisation Committee, chaired by Labour's Lucy Powell, reviews MPs' paid media engagements. The committee's inquiry seeks to determine potential conflicts of interest and the public benefit of MPs' media roles, following a broader crackdown on second jobs that has already banned MPs from providing paid policy advice. Farage, who earned nearly £100,000 last month for his GB News role, has criticized these proposals, asserting that his show fosters open political debate. The committee aims to improve parliamentary standards amid rising scrutiny over MPs' conduct and media involvement. MPs including Jacob Rees-Mogg have expressed mixed views, with some supporting regulations to clarify MPs' roles as independent legislators rather than employees of the House. The committee plans to work cross-party to address these issues while also looking into other forms of MPs' external roles.
