Can Britain’s Politics Cope: David Dimbleby Thinks Not

Can Britain’s Politics Cope: David Dimbleby Thinks Not

David Dimbleby was for decades the face of election programs on the BBC. He anchored coverage of 10 UK general elections, as well as the 1975 and 2016 referendums on European membership, the funeral of Princess Diana and a host of other royal and state occasions.

He’s seen prime ministers come and go, from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair and many more since. With Prime Minister Keir Starmer facing a potential leadership challenge, Dimbleby is uniquely placed to understand the characters and conflicts shaping Britain’s volatile politics today.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain he gives his take on Starmer, Andy Burnham and Nigel Farage.

0:03:15 Why so many prime ministers?
0:09:14 Keir Starmer is a “dud”
0:09:55 “I don’t know what (Burnham) stands for”
0:11:31 Would Burnham be a different PM?
0:13:37 The UK is in a “dire state”
0:16:16 “I am worried about the future”
0:16:49 Nigel Farage as prime minister
0:21:35 Ten years on from Brexit
0:24:31 The UK rejoining the EU
0:31:52 King Charles' state visit to the US
0:37:15 “I'm not in any way a republican”
