ONE OF 2023'S BIGGEST NEW BOOKS (GUARDIAN)A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2023A GUARDIAN 'IF YOU READ ONE BOOK ABOUT . . .' POLITICS PICKA WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023: POLITICSA THE WEEK CHRISTMAS BOOK CHOICESix 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.
