John Whittingdale

Some people will make anything political, sounds pretty desperate, haven't they got anything real to moan about?

No Alea, I said chair of not secretary for

Hacked off don't think it is irrelevant

No anniebach he has held that position since 2015 and the relationship was long before that.
A non-story , if ever there was one. TBH if the media thought it was not worth publishing, for once they showed rare judgement. Even some prominent Labour MPs today said how irrelevant it is -I wonder if perhaps it is designed to deflect attention from something else? JC's tax return for instance? (Just guessing)

It isn't about his affair/girlfriend. It's about Leveson, ask what Hacked off thinks about it and the McCanns

Why shouldn't she have kept it a secret? Surely that's better than 'kissing and telling'...

I have Radio 4 on all day and the consensus of opinion from those who have nothing to gain is that the reason it was printed was because it was a non-story/old story/no public interest. It was before he got this job, he is a single man so not really an 'affair' in the way we tend to think of it when someone is married.

He had (past tense) a relationship with someone who was a sex worker, would it be worse if she was a Hedge Fund Manager? What about if she kept her money offshore?

Conflict of interest I am afraid.

I am against kiss and tell stories, but this is a single man dating a prostitute for six months - she kept that a secret for six months ! Who just happens to have been chair of the Culture, Media and Sports committee for 10 years . Four newspapers knew of the relationship but decided it wasn't In the public interest.

They print of affairs of z list celebs but not this man ? Fishy

No, but I do care about Leveson
