An end-of-term look inside British politics with Shaun Ley.

A weekly look inside British politics from the BBC.

"Now is the summer of our discontent"?  With the Prime Minister and much of his cabinet on the other side of the world, back home there are grumblings of discontent from MPs in both of the governing coalition's parties. So three months into what David Cameron has called the New Politics, we'll be taking its temperature. The General Election returned a record 232 new MPs to Parliament, with 143 women now making up the full house of 650 members. We'll be talking to three of the new girls. Do they feel they've revolutionised Politics UK? 
Presented by Shaun Ley.
