THE INSTANT TOP TWO SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, UPDATED WITH A NEW CHAPTER AT PAPERBACKLongstanding Labour MP Chris Bryant tells the inside story of what went so wrong with Westminster and how we might solve it.The extraordinary turmoil we have seen in British politics in the last few years has set records. With the last government, we had the fastest turnover of ministers in our history and more MPs suspended from the House than ever. Rules were flouted repeatedly, sometimes in plain sight. The government seemed unable to escape the brush of sleaze. And just when we thought it was all going to calm down a bit, another scandal would break. Having spent years as Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, Chris Bryant had a frontrow seat for the battle over standards in our politics. Taking us inside the Pugincarpeted corridors of Westminster, from the prime ministers office to the Strangers Bar, he examines how parliament got into this mess and suggests how it might at last get its house in order.Takes a bulldozer to the crumbling edifice of parliamentary standards JAMES OBRIEN Absolutely riveting REVEREND RICHARD COLES Lively, forensic, engrossing OBSERVER Vital ALASTAIR CAMPBELL Blisteringly topical TELEGRAPH Rollicking iPAPER Unputdownable CAROL VORDERMAN
