He pursued his education at Christ’s College, Finchley, a state grammar school in North London, before graduating with a degree in history from the University of York in 1981. Following his university studies, he enrolled in a journalism course at the London College of Printing. His career in journalism began in local radio and regional television in Newcastle, leading him to join the BBC as a political correspondent in 1990. Richards subsequently became the Political Editor for the New Statesman in 1996, concurrently maintaining his presence in radio and television broadcasting. In 2000, he transitioned to a role as a political columnist for both The Independent and Independent on Sunday.
Throughout his career, Richards has been a regular presenter for significant political programs, including GMTV’s ‘The Sunday Programme,’ BBC Two’s ‘Despatch Box,’ and BBC Radio 4’s ‘Week in Westminster.’ He notably presented ‘Leadership Reflections’ in early 2017, a BBC Parliament series analyzing modern Prime Ministers like Harold Wilson, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and David Cameron. This was followed by another BBC Parliament series in late 2017 titled ‘Turning Points,’ which examined critical political moments such as the 1979 general election and the Brexit referendum. In 2018, he presented ‘Reflections: The Prime Ministers We Never Had,’ profiling figures like Rab Butler and Denis Healey. He continues to host ‘Rock N Roll Politics,’ a podcast and one-man show, and has authored several books on British political history, including ‘The Prime Ministers We Never Had’ and ‘The Prime Ministers.’ His most recent book, ‘Turning Points: Crisis and Change in Modern Britain, from 1945 to Truss,’ was published by Macmillan in 2023.
