Brexit Without The Bullshit

'Punchy, pithy and short.' – POLLY TOYNBEE, GUARDIAN COLUMNIST

'In an ideal world every citizen would read this essential book, and think hard.' – PROFESSOR AC GRAYLING, ACADEMIC

The broadcaster and journalist Gavin Esler reveals how the most momentous change in Britain for decades will change everyday life. In 7 succinct chapters, he charts the profound impact of leaving the European Union on key areas of life in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland:

• Food and diet
• Health and the NHS
• Jobs and industry
• Education
• Travel to Europe

From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit is packed with surprises.

Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were told you were getting. It's about the one we're getting.

From the author of How Britain Ends: English Nationalism and the Rebirth of Four Nations, A Scandalous Man, and Lessons From The Top, this is a pithy guide to the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, following the referendum in 2016.

It's the ideal accompaniment to books on Brexit such as the Fintan O'Toole's Brexit Chronicles and Michel Barner's Secret Brexit Diaries. Instead of concentrating on the campaign itself, however, it looks at the fundamental changes caused by Brexit - and what it means for ordinary life.

– DR RACHEL CLARKE, NHS DOCTOR AND CAMPAIGNER

'Esler provides the evidence of what Brexit has already done to Britain and the harm that it s causing and will cause, in particular to the poorest in our society. A guide for all who want to understand what Brexit really means.'

– JESSICA SIMOR QC

'A brilliant demolition of the lies and liars that created the Brexit mess. Should be required reading at his old stamping ground, the BBC.'

– ALASTAIR CAMPBELL, WRITER AND BROADCASTER
