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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Having spent years as Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, Chris Bryant had a front-row seat for the battle over standards in our politics. Taking us inside the Pugin-carpeted corridors of Westminster, from the prime minister's 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.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Takes a bulldozer to the crumbling edifice of parliamentary standards' \u003c\/b\u003eJAMES O'BRIEN *\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Absolutely riveting' \u003c\/b\u003eREVEREND RICHARD COLES *\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Lively, forensic, engrossing'\u003c\/b\u003e OBSERVER *\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Vital'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eALASTAIR CAMPBELL *\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Blisteringly topical'\u003c\/b\u003e TELEGRAPH *\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Rollicking' \u003c\/b\u003ei-PAPER * \u003cb\u003e'Unputdownable'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eCAROL VORDERMAN","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636916637854,"sku":"UBD-9781526663603","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526663603.jpg?v=1774399507","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526663603","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
