Product description

Review

‘The book took 10 weeks to write and reads quickly off the page.’ -- Eastern Daily Press

‘The journalist turned accidental MP has an insight not available to reporters.’ -- Eastern Daily Press

‘I am especially interested to read Martin’s new book...And I am recommending that everyone buys his book.’ -- Douglas Carswell, MP for Harwich and Clacton

‘Adversity, Bell reminds us, can actually be quite useful.’ -- Tribune

‘Bell doesn’t mince his words condemning the 'corrupt' politicians who have 'lost our trust because they pick our pockets.'’ -- Sunday Herald

‘His latest book is scathing about those who become MPs without having done much else in their lives other than politics. He judges – as I do – that much of the recent debacle would have been avoided, if so many of those who made it to Westminster had a career pattern other than school, university, researcher, aide to MP and adoption as Parliamentary candidate.’ -- Tribune

‘Bell is right when he emphasizes that the real problem with the expenses scandal is not the money: it’s the fact that MPs make up their own rules, and effectively end up writing their own cheques.’ -- London Review of Books

About the Author

Martin Bell OBE is one of the best-known and most highly regarded names in British television journalism. As a BBC reporter he has covered foreign assignments in more than 80 countries and eleven wars including Vietnam, Nigeria, Angola, Nicaragua, The Gulf and Bosnia, where millions watched as he was nearly killed by shrapnel. In 1997 Martin became the first Independent MP to be elected to Parliament since 1950, and he has since campaigned tirelessly for trust and transparency in British politics.
