I've read Phineas Redux by Anthony Trollope, much of it set in the House of Commons at a time of navel-gazing about the Established Church. It was written in the 1870s but remains astonishingly pertinent. All it needs is a preening egomaniac in the Speaker's Chair and it could be describing the Commons of 2011.
Quentin Letts' Letts Rip is available in paperback.
