Ian Hislop embarrasses MPs in their own select committee on lobbying and transparency

Ian Hislop, Solomon Hughes and Richard Brooks of Private Eye attended the parliamentary select committee on standards to give evidence today.

Tories Sir Bernard Jenkin and Alberto Costa both seemed quite distressed.
