Julian Knight (politician)

Julian Knight is a British politician and former journalist who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Solihull since 2015. He was a member of the Conservative Party, but sits in the House of Commons as an independent since December 2022, having had the Conservative Party whip suspended after the Metropolitan Police received a referral involving allegations of sexual assault. Knight said he was "entirely innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever". Essex police have since begun an investigation into these allegations.
