Closed petition We demand that serving MPs do not have jobs within the media.

Recently it was announced that George Osborne MP is to take on the position of editor at the Evening Standard. We believe that our MPs' roles should come first and that positions in the media could damage the scrutiny performed by the media on our governing bodies and create bias.
