What Went Wrong With Brexit by Peter Foster
A clear-eyed, hard-hitting look at the real costs of Brexit from the Financial Times public policy editor
A brilliant guide through Brexit's complexities * * The Times * *
Coolly, meticulously, Foster builds his case[ . . . ] It is journalism at its best, wedding a determination to explain complex issues to a wider audience clearly with well-founded anger * * Guardian * *
A fresh view on botched Brexit . . . I agree with almost every word of Foster's book * * Sunday Times * *
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 * * Irish Times * *
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 -- MARTIN WOLF * * Financial Times * *
Everyone 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 -- EMILY MAITLIS
Foster has been a tireless and expert chronicler of Brexit reality even as many of his fellow journalists failed or refused to understand both simple and complex facts. This book shows why he is among the best qualified commentators in the country to explain how we got into this mess and, more importantly, how we might begin to get out of it -- JAMES O'BRIEN
Precise, concise, considered and wise -- DAVID AARONOVICH
The Brexit debate was conducted in furnace-like temperatures and at a million decibels. In this excellent analysis, Foster relies on the quiet persuasiveness of facts and figures to explain how Britain's economy has been so seriously damaged by leaving the EU. And what needs to change in the future -- JON SOPEL
Gets to the issues underlying so much of the recent chaos. [Foster] was a balanced voice at the Telegraph where he covered Europe during the negotiations, and here presents prognosis and prescription for Britain's Brexit-related woes * * Guardian * *
