He is a member of the Conservative Party, but since December 2022 has sat as an independent.

Julian Knight was born in 1972 in Chester.

He grew up in a single-parent family.

He graduated with a degree in history from the University of Hull.

After university, Knight returned to Chester where he worked for a number of electrical retailers before moving to London to sell advertising for The Sun newspaper.

2007

He later worked for the BBC as personal finance and consumer affairs reporter for five years until 2007, working across television, radio and online.

In 2007 he became the Money and Property Editor of The Independent on Sunday.

2014

In 2014, Knight was selected to be the Conservative prospective parliamentary candidate for Solihull.

2015

In April 2015, Knight was criticised by Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, for a book he authored eleven years earlier on tax avoidance.

Knight has written books on a variety of subjects for the For Dummies series, including the Euro crisis, Retiring Wealthy and The Royal Wedding.

At the 2015 general election Knight was elected as MP for Solihull with 49.2% of the vote and a majority of 12,902.

From July 2015 to April 2017, Knight served as a member of the Communities and Local Government Committee, during which time he co-sponsored the Government's Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.

2016

Prior to the 2016 UK referendum on European Union membership, Knight stated he would vote to remain in the EU.

He was a member of the Culture, Media, and Sport Select Committee, later the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee from December 2016 until April 2023.

In that role he made several interventions, including on the BBC gender pay row and against Facebook and digital company Cambridge Analytica during the committee's inquiry into 'fake news'.

In December 2021, Knight said there was a "real sense of palpable loss" over the death of six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes in Solihull.

Knight said the sentences given to the killers of the boy were too lenient and he would be referring the sentences to the Attorney General's Office for review under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.

In April 2023, Knight announced that he would not seek re-election as an MP at the next general election.

In January 2020, Knight was elected as Chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCSM) Select Committee.

In December 2022, Knight had the Conservative Party whip suspended after the Metropolitan Police received a referral involving allegations of sexual assault.

Knight criticised the manner in which the suspension was carried out.

Essex Police have since begun an investigation into these allegations.

The Metropolitan Police said that it had received a report of "allegations of sexual assault against unnamed victims" on 28 October 2022 and after a further referral on 7 December 2022 had started an investigation.

Knight stated he was "entirely innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever".

Knight was never arrested or interviewed by the police and on 29 March 2023, he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Metropolitan Police.

However he was not reinstated to the parliamentary Conservative Party following "further complaints".

The Metropolitan Police transferred the case to Essex Police.

In February 2024, Essex Police announced that following an investigation, no further criminal action would take place.

Knight lives in Solihull.
