How do you get into politics? How do you have a good time in the House of Commons? How do you get to the top of the greasy pole? Rising young star of the Labour Party, Tony Banks gives advice on all of this and more.

Tony Banks has been the Labour MP for Newham, London, since 1987 and is the Labour spokesman on London. Jo-Ann Goodwin is a freelance writer and journalist.
