About this audiobook
Journalist Ian Dunt reveals how leaving the European Union will damage Britain's politics, courts, businesses and consumers.
This fast-paced bestseller strips Britain's biggest issue of the gloss put on it by its cheerleaders and exposes it for what it is: a sham.
It is based on extensive research with experts across the law, trade and politics.
It maps the trade and legal cliff edge that Britain faces unless it secures a transitional deal with the European Union — and explains why the odds are stacked against the UK government in the negotiations and how the World Trade Organisation is not the solution to leaving the EU.
The author (who reads this audiobook) reveals how Brexit will:
- make the UK poorer
- leave industries like pharmaceuticals and finance struggling to operate
- threatens to break up the United Kingdom
- In brief, it paints the real picture of a country about to undergo a sharp and self-inflicted isolation.
- In the run up to the EU referendum in 2016, the British cabinet minister Michael Gove said that the British public had had enough of experts. Ian Dunt disagrees. This is a book is for people who believe in evidence and reason.
