Cameron's Coup: How the Tories took Britain to the Brink
Author: Polly Toynbee
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 336
Don't mistake Cameron for a bland PR man. Despite coalition compromises, he's turning out to be more radical than Margaret Thatcher. She privatised industries. His plan is to dismantle the welfare state itself. The NHS is being marketised to death. The cuts are cover for an assault on the post-war social settlement. Children, young people, the poor, legal aid, police and probation officers, social housing are bearing the brunt of the Cameron revolution. Will it succeed? Writing with their trademark incisiveness and wit, Toynbee and Walker tell the story of how in four short years a party that failed to win a Commons majority has been devastatingly effective. Blending analysis and numbers with moving human stories from Sydenham to Sheffield, Cameron's Coup argues that the government is creating a harsher, meaner Britain. Toynbee and Walker say that voters must ask the pressing question of 2015 - are these changes irrevocable?
