FTA: Sir Matthew was elected to parliament as MP for Newark in 1701, but eventually fell foul of the law. He died in Fleet Prison in 1734.
Nothing has changed over the years. People get elected then run foul of the law.
AND…a great series with Toby Jones from the BBC. (Watched the whole show twice but now want to watch it again. Brilliantly funny)
It was so well done!
