Summary

Six years after Brexit, it can feel like we’re still having the same conversations. This is the explainer we need to move on. And we do need to move on, because in the meantime so much has changed. The economic realities that are making the UK less competitive, less productive and less well-off are ever more obvious – and more and more people are finding out the Brexit they were sold was based on falsehoods and fantasy.

So what exactly went wrong with Brexit?

In this book, Peter Foster dispels the myths and, most importantly, shows what a better future for Britain after Brexit might look like. With clear-headed practicality, he considers the real costs of leaving the EU, how we can recover international trust in the UK, how to improve cooperation and trade with our neighbours, and how to begin to build the Global Britain that Brexit promised but failed to deliver.

The politicians won’t talk about it, so we need to.

Just too painful ...

I couldn't finish this book, it was too painful.
Being told everything that we knew would go wrong did, in fact, go wrong didn't give me any comfort, it just reinforced what we'd lost by separating ourselves from our biggest market and the group of countries which we have most in common politically and culturally.
I guess the book has to be written, but it just filled me with despair.

Biased Remainer book

The Remainer Bias of the author. Totally one sided leaver view of Brexit. Don’t bother listening!
