Members behaving badly : a history of Britain in 52 parliamentary rogues

Kilroy, Debbie2026
Books, Manuscripts
Over the centuries, the House of Commons has been full of Members of Parliament of courage and conviction - remarkable people doing remarkable things for the good of all. Yet, just as often, it has harboured cheats and liars who have played games, played the markets and played the people who put trust in them. There have been abusers and kidnappers and murderers, violent men doing violent deeds, often using parliament as a front and excuse. From 1603 to 1945, 'Members Behaving Badly' tells the story of our nation through fifty-two of these parliamentary rogues. These are the MPs who made history - for all the wrong reasons.
