Britain’s broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has clarified the rules around politicians’ roles in TV and radio programmes, following the news that two former Cabinet ministers will front new talk shows while continuing to serve as MPs.
Nadine Dorries, who served as culture secretary in Boris Johnson’s Cabinet, is set to host a Friday night talk show for TalkTV. Her fellow Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who served under both Johnson and Liz Truss, will front a regular programme for GB News.
