About this listen

If you want to understand why politics isn't working, the first place to look is in the bank accounts of our politicians. From secret second jobs to suspicious tax avoidance schemes, British politicians continue to rake in money and consistently mislead Parliament with conflicts of interest.

And years after the expenses scandal, politicians are now claiming more expenses than ever before.

In Parliament Ltd, investigative journalist Martin Williams reveals the true extent of greed and corruption in Westminster. Containing explosive new revelations about the activities of those at the top, this is a shocking untold tale that goes to the rotten heart of British politics.

There were times where I literally gasped, laughed, clapped and whinced listening to this.

Exposing the dark heart of politics where morality has been swept away with the brush of business, Martin Williams has done an epic job of proportions revealing how intertwined the British government is with lobbyists, expenses scandals, external business interests with many even relating to human rights abuses. I would definitely want to hear an updated version reflecting the current government in power.

Bravo to Williams - an extremely important read for this generation.

Unbelievable, explosive, mind blowing claims

The narrator was perfect . With a typical narrator who reads stories it would have been hard going. He spoke with just the right tones to show how many of our politicians are just self serving.

A must read for all who vote.

Everyone should read this book. If you thought the media portrayal of the expenses scandal was bad then you don't know the half of it.

Brilliant

Brilliant book. I follow politics and am growing in my cynicism of Parliament, of which I am aware is being fuelled by the media. So in a bid to listen and think for myself, I have switched off my TV and began to dig a little deeper. This book is the next layer down. And I encourage everyone in the same boat to use this as a platform to begin to open your eyes. Conscious of course that Martin Williams is a journalist, and so acknowledging this book requires a pinch of salt given my objectives, but nevertheless is a crucial read to better understand the snippets of rage on Question Time, and why many people doggedly chastise MPs.

It has aged a little now, but that is a good thing in my eyes as it forms the basis and historic context to bring myself up to speed.

Insightful for the keen amateur politico

A great listen for anyone especially those interested in politics. Equal parts worrying and eye opening.
