The story of the Cameron era had unexpected twists. Members of the Bullingdon Club are bred to rule, so it was surprising they turned out to be so inept in the basic arts of government. Time and time again they stumbled into self-made disarray, from the attempt to sell publicly-owned woodland to the proposal, later scrapped, to increase the speed limit to 80mph.

John Rentoul, the chief political commentator for The Independent, compared the book to Tony Blair's memoir, A Journey, and said "Cameron makes his case with style. The book is easy to read, with some nice self-deprecating touches." [12] As recovery takes hold, the indices of inequality resume their upward flight: the top 1% has flourished in the great recession. Social mobility depends on opening up the closed spaces of elite Britain but they remain, as they were, stuffed with ex-public schoolboys. Social policy has ossified, no longer attuned to families with young children. The government has shrunk or shut Sure Start children’s centres, abandoning a great evidence-based experiment in improving the life chances of disadvantaged families.

Nowhere was the dogma and disarray of Cameron’s style of government more evident than in his reorganisation of the NHS. Nowhere was pre-election subterfuge more apparent: ex-Tory minister Michael Portillo later said simply:“They did not believe they could win if they told you what they were going to do.” They pledged not to cut the NHS cash budget, but ignored inflation, an increase in births, rising numbers of over-80s and how cuts in council social care sent more of them to hospital. King told Armstrong that the Mirror had simply “cooled” towards the Wilson premiership owing to the fact he “was no prime minister”. In his book Capital, Thomas Piketty observed that in advanced economies wealth has become so concentrated among the few that most people are virtually unaware of its existence. Great wealth is secret, and its hold on power even more so. Who knows what goes on over country suppers in the Cotswolds, where the prime minister’s neighbours include Rebekah Wade and Rupert Murdoch’s daughter Elisabeth, with Mark Carney’s sister-in-law and lobbying magnate Lord Chadlington next door? Yet people have inklings. Cameron provokes nothing like the visceral response that Thatcher did, but he has not erased people’s resentment of privilege. Today’s opinion polls reflect a scratchy sense of unfairness. George Osborne’s mantra, first chanted at the 2012 party conference, “all in it together” raises a hollow laugh.
