‘Sorry Dame Caroline Dinenage, you’ll find most Conservatives believe in due process’

Calls for Caroline Dinenage to go as it emerges Rumble row MP DIDN’T clear Brand letter with own committee.

Dame Caroline Dinenage is facing calls to quit as Chair of the Culture, Media & Sport Committee after asking video-streaming platform Rumble to demonetise Russell Brand.

Dame Dinenage wrote to Rumble earlier this week after Russell Brand was accused of rape and sexual assault.

The Gosport MP penned a number of letters to multiple organisations, including Facebook, the BBC and GB News. However, GB News has reported not every member of the Culture, Media & Sport Committee was supportive of the letter to Rumble.

A source said: “We know at least one committee member is not comfortable with the language used before Mr Brand has been found guilty of any crime.”

Another insider appeared to corroborate the claim, adding that only some of the letters were signed off.

Despite voicing concern about Dame Caroline’s sentiments, committee members were not among those gunning for her resignation.

In her letter to Rumble chief executive Chris Pavlovski, Dinenage said: “While we recognise that Rumble is not the creator of the content published by Mr Brand, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.

“We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr Brand is able to monetise his content, including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him.

“If so, we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform.

“We would also like to know what Rumble is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behaviour.”

The Gosport MP’s letter came under fire on social media, with many users suggesting the former Culture Minister was breaking key clauses from the Magna Carta.

Conservative Post Founder and Editor said: “Sorry Dame Caroline Dinenage, you’ll find most Conservatives believe in due process. We don’t know if Brand is innocent or guilty yet. This is for a court to decide. What matters is due process. It’s NOT up to you to try and cancel anyone until due process has taken place.”

Ms Bullivant continued: “Due process not only matters, it is law. It’s NOT up to MPs or businesses to try and cancel anyone until due process has taken place. Everyone must have the right to a fair trial.”

Barrister Steven Barrett agreed saying: “You can even utterly loathe an individual, and still stand with due process, the presumption of innocence and the Rule of Law. Mob rule ain’t pretty.”

Responding to the letter, controversial commentator and former MEP candidate Carl Benjamin said: “Caroline Dinenage has violated one of the few clauses of the Magna Carta which are still in effect, that an Englishman’s property may not be arbitrarily seized or stripped from him without the lawful judgment of his peers. She must resign or be fired immediately.”
