Debbie Kilroy Members Behaving Badly: a History of Britain in 52 Parliamentary Rogues

Over the centuries, the House of Commons has been full of MPs who have been remarkable men and women doing incredible work for the good of all.

In this funny, eye-opening and jaw-dropping book, Historian Debbie Kilroy has written 'an alternative history of Britain through the scandalous stories of 52 MPs who behaved very badly indeed'.

From 1603 to 1945 these 52 parliamentary villains: abusers, liars, cheats, kidnappers and murderers, performed unlawful and frequently violent deeds, regularly using parliament as a front and excuse.

These are the MPs who made history - for all the wrong reasons.

Kilroy is a great storyteller whose writing is brimming with humour and wit.
