- Steve Richards was born on June 6, 1960. He is a writer, known for Reflections: The Prime Ministers We Never Had (2018), The Sunday Programme (1994) and British Scandal (2021).
- Political commentator with The Independent newspaper.
- His series "Leadership Relections" on the BBC Parliament channel has profiled every prime minister from 1974 to 2016, but skipped James Callaghan, who was prime minister from 1976 to 1979.
- I think in the late 50s and early 60s, satirists were bravely challenging orthodoxies, that in the media politicians were treated very deferentially. Now we've gone to the other extreme where in the media politicians are treated with disdain and are viewed with disdain by the public. And in come the satirists to weekly reinforce all those orthodox prejudices.
