The new chair of the parliamentary Culture, Media and Sport Committee is Conservative MP for Folkestone and Hythe Damian Collins:
Damian’s job will be to make sure the committee continues its crucial work of calling to account and overseeing the UK press and media in a rigorous and completely unbiased way.
I’m sure Damian will be completely unhindered in this task by the fact his publisher is Harper Collins – and this year he has received thousands of pounds in advance fees from the publisher for a new book.
That would be the Harper Collins owned by Rupert Murdoch.
So no conflict of interest there then …

Unfortunately this is just another consequence of allowing MP’s to hold outside interests,the electorate will NEVER have unbiased or totally unpartisan MP’s acting honestly or with complete integrity on their behalf.
As evidenced by the amount of current and former MPs and HOL members who hold interests in medical businesses, prison and justice services, social provision and property speculators, until this is outlawed we will continue with this unedifying grossly corrupt farce ,treating the electorate with utter and total contempt

What a find! A story worthy of a Hillary Clinton campaign media scandal.
Damian Collins is also a big fan of Theresa May (http://www.kentonline.co.uk/folkestone/news/collins-nails-colours-to-mast-98229/).
