Kate Vigurs

Join us on a journey from 1603 to 1945 via 52 parliamentary villains. Historian Debbie Kilroy and Kate Vigurs uncover the rogues, rakes and rule-breakers who have stalked the corridors of the House of Commons for centuries. From scandalous Restoration debauchery to financial trickery, corruption and political betrayal, this is British history told through the MPs who made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Expect outrageous characters, sharp insight and more than a few jaw-dropping moments; a lively, eye-opening reminder that power has always had its darker side.
