The cartoons are arranged in thematic chapters - from personalities of the 18th and 19th centuries to sporting peers, intellectuals and Lords Reform under New Labour - with profiles of the caricatured and commentary by Alan Mumford. | ||||

| On 11 May 1812, a man pulled a pistol in the lobby of the House of Commons and shot the Prime Minister, Spencer Perceval, dead. It was the only occasion in history on which an assassin has succeeded in taking the life of a British premier, but it was by no means the only attempt. Hernon, a seasoned Westminster correspondent, examines the role that the threat of assassination has played in British political life down to the present day. | ||||
