As well as covering the broader structure of the UK Parliament, this text explains the role of backbench MPs in scrutinising government and campaigning the design and space of Parliament and the challenges facing MPs. It offers illuminating case studies on highly topical areas such as Brexit, COVID-19, and recent pieces of legislation such as the British Sign Language Act and Online Safety Act.
