The Impossible Office: The History of The British Prime Minister
Season 2, Episode 70, Apr 30, 2021, 01:42 PM
Every new Prime Minister thinks they’ll do it differently, but changing the furniture or your mobile phone number isn’t enough to change The Impossible Office.
Is there such a thing as a happy PM?
Is ruthlessness more effective than cruelty?
How intelligent do you have to be to run the country?
You might want the power that comes with the top job, but would you want to be Prime Minister today? A role which, since 1945, has always started OK and ended badly.
In this episode Richard Kilgarriff shares OMI with the world's leading authority on the people who have inhabited No.10 Downing Street for the last 300 years.
How does Boris Johnson compare to his predecessors in terms of intelligence and conviction? What can we learn about ourselves through the lens of the highest office in the land?
