The House of Commons in the age of Thatcher is the theme of this book, written by the Conservative MP for Aldershot. It covers the transformation of the Commons according to the values of the once unfashionable lower middle classes, in a lighthearted way. Topics covered include ideology and ambition of politicians, the positions of the whips, the political wives and the way Thatcher has fashioned the Commons. Critchley has become known for his writings in the "Spectator" and his most recent books are "Westminster Blues" and "Heseltine: the Unauthorized Biography".
