Helen Lewis of the New Statesman looks behind the scenes at Westminster.

This week MPs look at themselves and parliament and consider the accountability of both. Should constituents have the power to recall MPs who do not do their job properly, and if so how exactly to do this? Do fixed term parliaments lead to periods of inertia or do they prevent a Prime Minster from timing a general election to his or her advantage? Plus a call for clarity from political parties on how to deal with the budget deficit, and legislating on revenge porn.

The editor is Marie Jessel.
