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.

A fresh view on botched Brexit . . . I agree with almost every word of Foster’s book
Peter Foster's sober assessment, based on the forensic and methodical reporting for which he has become renowned [. . .], is delivered with convincing and riveting detail in this tightly-argued book
Shows how a classic populist alliance of fanatics and opportunists mixed simplistic analysis with heated rhetoric and outright lies to weaken the UK’s most important economic relationship and threaten its domestic stability

Financial TimesEveryone should read this book. And then read it again and memorise it. Clear headed, unemotional, fact-rich - a definitive account of the economic damage we have self-inflicted and, crucially, the recipe for how we can start to mitigate it to get the country working again
