The Breakdown by Tatton Spiller

We're living through The Breakdown. A time of enormous political upheaval and polarised opinion. Many of us feel ill-equipped to understand and debate the issues currently rocking our world. At last, here is a sane voice of reason that cuts through the noise. Brexit: a chance to take back control or taking us to the brink of disaster? Immigration: a strain on our country or a crucial part of our economy? Austerity: essential reduction of national debt or devastating cuts to public spending? Tax cuts: control over your money or a threat to the welfare system? Privatisation: Crucial efficiency-boosting competition or the ruthless destruction of our public services? Ban on plastics: saving the planet or excessive government interference? The Breakdown will give you all the tools to work out what's happening and why - and then empower you to do something about it.
Tatton Spiller is the founder of Simple Politics, the hugely successful project that makes politics clear and interesting. He has a journalist and a teacher, and worked at the Houses of Parliament.
