Brexit: The Road to Freedom
by Will Podmore
(i2i Publishing, £9.95)
EXHAUSTIVELY researched, packed with statistics and chock-full of survey results and factual nuggets, Will Podmore’s new consideration of all things Brexit is a boon for any Leaver seeking substance to back up their case.
Written from a left perspective but refreshingly free of party politics or point-scoring, it progresses painstakingly through the gamut of Remainer arguments, comprehensively demolishing each one in turn.
