Peter Oborne of The Telegraph looks behind the scenes at Westminster. With this week's increasing turmoil in Libya, Syria and Egypt, is David Cameron's foreign policy up to the mark? Richard Ottaway and Sir Menzies Campbell of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, reflect on the current situation. Bernard Jenkin and Kevin Barron express fears that the Lobbying Bill going through parliament will interfere with MP's freedom to lobby on behalf of the electorate. Mark Field and Guardian/Observer journalist Henry Porter discuss the accountability of the intelligence services. Plus former minister Alistair Burt relates the grisly experience of being fired from government. The Editor is Marie Jessel.
