The New Statesman

Meet Alan Beresford B'Stard, an unscrupulous young politico, who will stop at nothing to get elected to Parliament.

Alan's wife, Sarah, inherits a million pounds worth of shares, which enables her to fulfill her deepest wish.

Alan realizes that joining a moral crusade can be extremely profitable...with hilarious consequences.

Tory MP Alan B'Stard's dirty dealings have finally caught up with him. Five years ago, he accepted 55,000 pounds to get rid of a lorryload of Argentinian nuclear waste, now he learns the lock-up garage storing it is earmarked for demolition!

Alan organizes a parliamentary fact-finding expedition to a sun-kissed Caribbean island, which seems to export only the world's strongest marijuana!

Alan is booked to appear on TV in the morning to discuss an important by-election result. Unfortunately, an all-night sitting in a notorious house of ill-repute means he has no idea about the result.

Alan's hateful father-in-law, Roland Gidleigh-Park, threatens to have him thrown out of his seat unless he starts pulling his weight in the constituency.
