Crisis Management – How we got 25 years of British political chaos

from The Bunker – News without the nonsense · host Podmasters

From 9/11 and the wars that followed to the expenses scandal, the Financial Crash, austerity, Brexit and a carousel of leadership crises, Westminster has spent the last 25 years governing through upheaval. Since 2000, crisis has shifted from disruption to default setting, with governments reacting rather than governing and institutions stretched well beyond their limits. Prof. Andrew Hindmoor, author of Haywire, talks to Zoë Grünewald about how British politics got stuck in crisis mode and what we can do about it.  🎄Get 20% off a year’s support for The Bunker until Christmas – whether you’re a new backer, renewing or upgrading.  • Buy Andrew’s book Haywire: A Political History of Britain since 2000 through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
