Is Britain ungovernable?

Episode Is Britain ungovernable?
We are on course for yet another prime minister – our seventh in just ten years. With statistics like that, and after watching the now-familiar pattern of leaders arriving with promises of hopeful change only to collapse into inertia and scandal, it is little wonder that many assume Britain has become ungovernable. But is that really true? Or have we simply had a uniquely bad crop of prime ministers, each sent packing because of their own mistakes?
James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Luke Tryl.
Produced (for the final time) by Megan McElroy. We all wish her luck at Politico!
