Is this Britain’s worst-ever chaos era? – with Steve Richards

By Podmasters

British politics is a shambles, from the economy to the cost of living to the NHS and public standards. But is this age of disorder worse than the endgames of past governments? Steve Richards, former BBC political correspondent and host of the Rock & Roll Politics podcast, tells Andrew Harrison how this dying government ranks among key moments of fin de siècle political acrimony from recent decades. From epic scandals to strikes, corruption and shameful resignations, are we really living through the worst days ever?     • “The divisions within the Tory party are much more visible… Sunak has completely failed to contain them.” – Steve Richards   • “We think of politics as showbiz for ugly people but politics is also football for people who can’t play sport.” – Andrew Harrison     We’re now on TikTok as well as Instagram and Twitter.
