Next Week's Sunday Review

After a decade and a half of cash-for-questions, cash-for-peerages, the perceived betrayal of the War in Iraq, the expenses scandal and now Hacking-gate, the case in defence of politicians is rarely made. However, like many politicos, TPR believes that the process of politics itself - and inevitably, the people who form that process - are not only essential but grossly under-rated. Therefore, as Parliament comes to a close for its Summer Recess, we'll be reviewing a book likely to make our MPs spend the summer feeling a little more vindicated about their representative duties - Peter Riddell's 'In Defence of Politicians (in spite of themselves)'.

You can purchase the book hereto read along with us and, as ever, our in-depth review will be published on Sunday.
