MPs should be guests on TV programmes where they are held to account for their actions.

"Undemocratic" is not having a fair voting system; suppressing opinions that don't support the ruling party.

"Conflict of interest" is not a valid charge against Rees-Mogg. Where is the conflict? Is he saying one thing on GB News, another in Parliament and yet another to his constituents?

You've got this wrong, Andrew. You might not like politicians having their own programme sloe (including David Lammy on LBC), but you're finding it difficult to place a valid wrongdoing here.
