Here at Biteback we like to publish books. Our authors like to write them. We all like to talk about them, especially when it's in conjunction with the sensual tones of Mark D'Arcy, on BBC Parliament's BOOKtalk. Is it just me or is there something a bit sensual about BOOKtalk in general?
The theme music certainly is, and if the discussion between Paul Flynn, author of How To Be An MP, and Mark is anything to go by they certainly think so as well. When Paul appeared on BOOKtalk they discussed everything from the most beautiful parliamentary intake yet – the class of 2010 – to whips, to how to, you know, be an MP.

How To Be An MP is an invaluable guide to what can be achieved by backbenchers, invaluable to would-be MPs and essential for constituents who want to know what their MP ought to be doing. From surviving the Speaker to walking on water; from running a campaign to doughnutting; from dealing with the tabloids to staying married, this fully updated edition of Paul Flynn’s survey of backbench life explains all in an engaging and often humorous manner.
