THE INSTANT TOP TWO SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
From leading MP Chris Bryant, the inside story of misconduct in parliament - and how we can help solve it.
Having spent years as Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, Chris Bryant has been in the thick of the battle over standards in parliament. Cronyism, nepotism, conflicts of interest, misconduct and lying: politicians are engaging in these activities more frequently than ever before, with dangerous results for our democracy. Taking us inside the Pugin-carpeted corridors of Westminster, from the prime minister's office to the Strangers' Bar, Code of Conduct examines how parliament has got into this mess and suggests how it might - at last - get its house in order.
