Britain's thrilling exit from the European Union, otherwise known as 'Brexit', is the ill timed, unproven, untried, and untested departure from the vastly influential European economic community and governmental partnership in Europe. As millions of people across the European territories prepare for a future of widespread uncertainty, rising threats and diminishing opportunities. Will Brexit be ultimately hailed as the very British revolution that revived the economy and bolstered the nation's status as a world power, or prove to be a total cock-up.

Britain's departure from the European Union is riddled with myth and misinformation -- yet the risks are very real. Brexit could diminish the UK's power, throw its legal system into turmoil, and lower the standard of living of 65m citizens. In this revised bestseller, Ian Dunt explains why leaving the world's largest trading bloc will leave Britain poorer and key industries like finance and pharma struggling to operate. Based on extensive interviews with trade and legal experts, Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? is a searching exploration of Brexit shorn of the wishful thinking of its supporters in the British media and Parliament. REVIEWS Admirably brief and necessarily brutal ... Whatever your position during the referendum, you ought to read Dunt because he is willing to face uncomfortable facts. Highly recommended. -- Nick Cohen, The Spectator Compact and easily digestible. I'd encourage anyone who is confused, fascinated or frustrated by Brexit to read this book - you'll be far wiser by the end of it. -- Caroline Lucas, Co-Leader, Green Party I would strongly recommend Ian Dunt's excellent guide. Dunt has taken the extraordinary step of asking a set of experts what they think. I learnt a lot. -- Philip Collins, Prospect Author Bio IAN DUNT is a political journalist and commentator. He is editor of Politics.co.uk, has a strong social media following, and appears on the BBC, Sky and LBC. He is a cast member of the Remainiacs podcast. He swears a lot on his Twitter feed.

The Sunday Times bestseller. 'A compulsively readable, carefully researched account of how a malignant combination of rightwing ideology, secretive money (much of it from the US) and weaponisation of social media have shaped contemporary British (and to a limited extent, European) politics... Remarkable' Observer, Book of the Week Democracy is in crisis, and unaccountable and untraceable flows of money are helping to destroy it. This is the story of how money, vested interests and digital skulduggery are eroding trust in democracy. Antiquated electoral laws are broken with impunity, secretive lobbying is bending our politics out of shape and Silicon Valley tech giants collude in selling out democracy. Politicians lie gleefully, making wild claims that can be shared instantly with millions on social media. Peter Geoghegan is a diligent, brilliant guide through the shadowy world of dark money and digital disinformation stretching from Westminster to Washington, and far beyond. Praise for Democracy for Sale: 'Thorough, gripping and vitally important' Oliver Bullough 'A brilliant description of the dark underbelly of modern democracy. Everyone should read it' Anne Applebaum 'A compelling and very readable story of the ongoing corruption of our government and therefore ourselves' Anthony Barnett 'As urgent as it is illuminating' Fintan O'Toole 'This urgent, vital book is essential reading for anyone who wants to make sense of our politics' Carole Cadwalladr 'This forensic and highly readable book shows how so many of our democratic processes have moved into the murky, unregulated spaces of globalisation and digital innovation' Peter Pomerantsev 'A call to arms for all those who value democracy' The Herald 'Geoghegan's words are those of someone who is prepared to keep fighting to defend and revitalise what shadows of democracy still remain'Scotsman

If you only purchase one book about Brexit this is the one for you and the most comprehensive, written not by a politician or political journalist from the Westminster bubble but by someone who witnessed and experienced the frustrations, hate and anger from both sides firsthand. 535 pages of pure information, arguments, facts, logic, and history that will open your eyes to many issues and challenges the UK faced and will face in the coming years! Brexit is the most important political and economic decision of a generation but what really happened? This is the only current book that addresses both sides of the argument including those of Leave and counter remain arguments. The facts, the issues, the rumours and lies combined with the impassioned arguments, how the flawed EU referendum campaigns by all parties failed to properly inform the voting public plus reports of illegal activities and foreign influence all contributed to the misinformation aided hugely by social Media. The UK public's understanding of the EU and its role within the UK were all reasons for voting leave based on false information and lies but also frustrations of austerity and being left behind. The British people's fear of losing their identity, their NHS, social care, monetary system and their ability to legally govern themselves all played into the hands of the referendum result and the chaos that ensued.What of sovereignty and independence? What is democracy and how has it changed? Who are the personalities and what lies / alternative facts have been used? What is going to be the cost and benefits of Brexit? How will families and communities heal the internal rifts that have been created by Brexit? What role did racism, the impact of immigration and multiculturalism play? Hard and soft Brexit, what will the UK stand to lose or gain? What exactly did voters vote for and vote against? AND who are the winners and losers? What role will Boris Johnson play going forward in "Getting Brexit done"?Brexit - what the hell happened provides you with so much information, facts and analysis you will learn many things you were not aware of as well as getting a good understanding of what could happen in the next 2-10 years and how it will affect our country, economy and social fabric.Christopher takes the reader on a road trip through the components of Brexit pointing out the interesting and sometimes scary sights whilst adding his own personal experiences to them.

Late August, 2019. As talk of a prorogation of parliament overwhelms the news cycle, a cast of London guests are holidaying in an Edwardian family house at the seaside in Dover. Little do they know just how this parliamentary strife will affect their own lives over the coming days...

FULLY UPDATED Arron Banks enjoyed a life of happy anonymity flogging car insurance in Bristol until he dipped his toes into the sharkinfested waters of politics and decided to plunge right in. Charging into battle for Brexit, he tore up the political rule book, sinking £8 million of his personal fortune into a mad-cap campaign targeting ordinary voters up and down the country. His anti-establishment crusade upset everyone from Victoria Beckham to NASA and left MPs open-mouthed. Lurching from comedy to crisis (often several times a day), he found himself in the glare of the media spotlight, fending off daily bollockings from Nigel Farage and po-faced MPs. From talking Brexit with Trump and trying not to embarrass the Queen, to courting communists and wasting a fortune on a pop concert that descended into farce, this is his honest, uncensored and highly entertaining diary of the campaign that changed the course of history.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Relive the delusional fever-dream of the modern era. 'Thank f*ck for Marina Hyde: the most lethal, vital, screamingly funny truth-teller of our time.' PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE 'The most brilliantly funny columnist of our time.' GARY LINEKER 'It's a scientific FACT: Marina Hyde is Britain's funniest writer.' CAITLIN MORAN No other writer is more suited to chronicling the absurd times in which we live. In What Just Happened?! Marina Hyde slashes her way through the hellscape of post-referendum politics, where the chaos never stops. Clamber aboard as we relive every inspirational moment of magic, from David Cameron to Theresa May to Boris Johnson. Marvel at the sights, from Trumpian WTF-ery to celebrity twattery. And boggle at the cast of characters: Hollywood sex offenders, populists, sporting heroes (and villains), dastardly dukes, media barons, movie stars, reality TV monsters, billionaires, police officers, various princes and princesses, wicked advisers, philanthropists, fauxlanthropists, telly chefs, and (naturally) Gwyneth Paltrow.

Drawn from her spectacularly funny Guardian columns, What Just Happened?! is a welcome blast of humour and sanity in a world where reality has become stranger than fiction. 'A joyous rallying voice in British journalism.' GRAYSON PERRY 'An infinite number of gag-writers, working all day in a gag factory, couldn't come up with any of the perfectly-formed one-liners that populate Marina Hyde's hilarious writing . . . But behind the wit lurks real anger, argument, exasperation and intelligence. Her writing is more than a gentle poke in the ribs: it's a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth.'
