Bøker av Chris Bryant

From leading MP Chris Bryant, the inside story of misconduct in parliament - and how we can help solve it.'Takes a bulldozer to the crumbling edifice of parliamentary standards' JAMES O'BRIEN'Absolutely riveting. I read, I blink, I gasp' REVEREND RICHARD COLES'Vital. It should serve as a wake-up call to all of us' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL The extraordinary turmoil we have seen in British politics in the last few years has set records. We have had the fastest turnover of ministers in our history and more MPs suspended from the House than ever. Rules have been flouted repeatedly, sometimes in plain sight. The government seems unable to escape the brush of sleaze. And just when we think it's all going to calm down a bit, another scandal breaks. As Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, Chris Bryant has had a front-row seat for the battle over standards in parliament. Cronyism, nepotism, conflicts of interest, misconduct and lying: politicians are engaging in these activities more frequently and more publicly than ever before. The result? The work of honest and accountable MPs is tarnished. Public trust is worn thin. And when nearly two thirds of voters think that MPs are out for themselves, democracy is in trouble. It is time for a better brand of politics. Taking us inside the Pugin-carpeted corridors of Westminster, from the prime minister's office to the Strangers' Bar, Code of Conduct examines every angle of parliamentary conduct and suggests how parliament might - at last - get its house in order.

An autobiographical account of 36 years

A polemical history of the British ruling class and how they ended up owning our nation.

Over the last two hundred years Parliament has witnessed and effected dramatic and often turbulent change.

Takes us on a 500-year journey from Parliament's earliest days in the thirteenth century through the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses and the upheavals of the Civil Wars, and up to 1801, when Parliament - and the United Kingdom, embracing Scotland and Ireland - emerged in a modern form.
