The Cameron Years
The Cameron Interview
Cameron, against the advice of his friend and chancellor George Osborne, his chief whip and his coalition partners. David Cameron became convinced that pledging a renegotiation and referendum was necessary to resolve the increasing instability of Britain’s place in Europe. After leading his party to a surprise electoral victory in 2015, Cameron’s renegotiation faced huge challenges from the start. He struggled to persuade his two closest allies, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, to support the case for remaining. BREMAIN left him struggling to stay in control of a campaign riven by party in-fighting, ‘post-truth’ politics and strategic challenges.
BBC has gained close access to David Cameron himself, and drawn on testimony from leading allies and critics from his close team, party, and coalition partners. The former prime minister talks candidly about the rise and fall of his career.
