|title=House of Fun: 20 glorious years in parliament
|rating=4
|genre=Politics and Society
|summary='House of Fun' is a selection of some of the best of the parliamentary sketches which Simon Hoggart has written for the Guardian. In time they range from the 1993 Liberal Conference (as as you're probably thinking it, it's worth quoting the 'Little changes... except, periodically, the name of the party') through to the G4S (another case where there have been name changes...) debacle just prior to the 2012 Olympics. So far as Prime Ministers are concerned, we start with John Major and wend our way through to Cameron, with the Conservatives book-ending the Blair/Brown war. But the point about parliamentary sketches is that they are under no obligation to record the major events: they illuminate the unusual, the usually unrecorded and the thought-provoking incidents of life in the political world.
