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.

Having spent years as Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, Chris Bryant has 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 has 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 O'BRIEN * 'Absolutely riveting' REVEREND RICHARD COLES * 'Lively, forensic, engrossing' OBSERVER * 'Vital' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL * 'Blisteringly topical' TELEGRAPH * 'Rollicking' i-PAPER * 'Unputdownable' CAROL VORDERMAN
