Books, Manuscripts
With two MPs for parents, Sarah Winterton was one of the proudest women in the country. It felt as though her family was at the heart of events. Her parents, Nicholas and Ann Winterton, the Tory MPs for the neighbouring Cheshire seats of Macclesfield and Congleton, became the longest-serving husband-and-wife team in the history of the House of Commons. But the storm clouds were gathering. When her parents got caught up in the parliamentary expenses scandal Sarah had to re-examine some long-held assumptions. Was the life of a backbench MP worth the candle? Why slog away for hours on behalf of your constituents, if your only reward was to be vilified by Fleet Street? Weren't there better ways to earn a living?
