The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Worse than Brexit? Why Cameron and Osborne are to blame for everything

Listen Later

David Cameron entered 10 Downing Street 13 years ago. Since he and his right hand man George Osborne got their hands on power it's safe to say things haven’t been going well. Political journalist Steve Richards, of BBC and Rock & Roll Politics fame, joins Andrew Harrison in The Bunker to discuss this gruesome twosome and the pain caused by austerity and Brexit that they are both intrinsically linked to. 


  • “Cameron’s left this horrible horrible mess that was wholly avoidable and we are still living with the consequences.” 
  • “Cameron sold himself very effectively and it's a really interesting case study in how easy it is to mesmerise the media.” 
  • “What has followed has been so chaotic – so it’s easy to forget that the seeds were sown in the Cameron era.”
