Peter Oborne of The Daily Telegraph looks behind the scenes at Westminster. Does the UK have a strategy to deal with the threat from IS? The imbroglio over the Speaker's handling of the appointment of a new House of Commons clerk, and the fall out from Douglas Carwell's defection to UKIP from the Conservative party. Plus a violent assault on an MP in broad daylight raises little comment in the Palace of Westminster. The editor is Marie Jessel.
