In his two decades as a reporter Peter Oborne has learnt a great deal about the Conservative Party, the nature of British government, the office of Prime Minister, and David Cameron himself. Cameron's 100 Days tells the story of Cameron fighting and (we presume) winning the General Election, forming his first government, delivering the first Queens Speech, then George Osborne holding the Emergency Budget. Centering around the six big, governing themes that the new Prime Minister must address in his first 100 days, including the economic crisis and the ferocious cuts to be unveiled by Osborne; the war in Afghanistan; the educational reforms that lie at the heart of the Conservative domestic agenda and how Cameron realizes his vision of a rich, flourishing and autonomous civil society, Cameron's 100 Days also addresses one of the unspoken backdrops to this election: that Britain has slipped from a second class to a third class world power. Unspoken because the Political Class cannot admit this.
Drawing on Oborne's unique access to the inner circles of government and senior figures in the Cameron camp, Cameron's 100 Days presents an even-handed report on the new government full of Oborne's trademark insight and integrity.
