George Parker of The Financial Times looks behind the scenes at Westminster. 
For the last Week In Westminster of 2012, George Parker of The Financial Times talks to 2 ex- chancellors Ken Clarke and Alistair Darling, and discovers they have more in common than one might think.
Liberal Democrat President Tim Farron assesses his leader Nick Clegg's important speech this week, drawing sharp dividing lines between the parties of the coalition.
And if you've drawn a blank on Christmas presents, how about a political biography? Every year Conservative MP Keith Simpson produces a reading list of political and historical books for MPs. This year he lists Jack Straw's autobiography Last Man Standing, and together they discuss the merits of political biography.

The Editor is Marie Jessel.
