When two-thirds of voters think that MPs are out for themselves, how can we restore public trust in parliamentary democracy in the UK?

Recent years in British politics have seen extraordinary turmoil, including the fastest turnover of ministers in history and more MPs suspended from the House than ever before. Faith in politics and politicians is at an all-time low, and the work of honest and accountable MPs tarnished.

Drawing from his experience as MP for Rhondda and Chair of the Committee on Standards and Privileges, Sir Chris Bryant examines how parliament got into this mess and suggests how it might get its house in order at this critical moment for the good functioning of government.
