David Cameron: "Strikes were futile"

It's been a massive week in the life of Prime Minister David Cameron. He joins us to answer some tough questions on just what is going on...

With the biggest strike of a generation taking place and a mammoth financial overhaul being announced to stop us slipping into deep recession, David Cameron has had a tough week.

He told Holly and Phillip: "This is a tough time for our country, there is no denying it."

But he insisted that we would come out the other side saying: "We are borrowing more this year as a country than countries like Greece, Italy and Spain, the only reason we aren't spiralling out of control is that we have a plan."

He also said that he thought that it was "irresponsible to strike whilst talks were still ongoing".

He told Holly and Phillip: "I don't think it achieved anything. At the end of the day we have to reform public sector pensions in a way that is fair... it was irresponsible."
