Brexit Without The Bullshit: The Facts on Food, Jobs, Travel and the NHS: The Facts on Food, Jobs, Schools, and the NHS - Softcover

A Factual Guide to Brexit

Will Brexit boost jobs? Or wreck the NHS? Or cause food shortages?

Gavin Esler reveals the impact of the biggest change in Britain for decades. In 7 succinct chapters, he reveals how leaving the European Union will transform:

Food and diet
Health and the NHS
Jobs and industry
Education
Travel to Europe

From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit throws up many surprises. Some are deeply unpleasant.

Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were told you were getting. It is about the one that is arriving.
Reviews
Everything a good Remainer needs to persuade the Brexiters, punchy, pithy and short - Polly Toynbee, Guardian columnist

If you want a pithy, sober, clear-headed summary of what Brexit is actually likely to look like, @gavinesler s new book is spot on. Such a welcome antidote to all the whipped up sentiment - calm, factual, rigorous. - Dr Rachel Clarke, palliative doctor and NHS campaigner

In this timely and incisive book, Gavin Esler dispels the myth that delivering a Brexit deal, or no deal, would bring an 'end' to Brexit. On the contrary, on everything from trade negotiations to decisions over our food standards and public services, getting Brexit 'over the line' would be just the start. - Francis Grove White, Peoples Vote Campaign

Esler provides the evidence of what Brexit has already done to Britain and the harm that it s causing and will cause, in particular to the poorest in our society. A guide for all who want to understand what Brexit really means. - Jessica Simor QC

A brilliant demolition of the lies and liars that created the Brexit mess. Should be required reading at his old stamping ground, the BBC - Alastair Campbell, writer and broadcaster

Extract: Introduction
What is Brexit really going to look like? After 50 years of Britain arguing about Europe, what does leaving the European Union mean for you, me, our families, children, jobs, healthcare, and our daily lives?

Shorn of the posturing and the promises, what are the profound changes that lie ahead? This book is not about the endless arguments over Brexit. It is about facts which will mould the future of our country. These facts, pleasant and unpleasant, should have been discussed properly when we held the referendum to leave in 2016. They were not.

For good or ill, they are vital now to understand the possible shape of a new United Kingdom. This, then, is not a book about the Brexit you may have thought you were voting for. It is about the Brexit we will get.

The most important tip I can give you is not to think of Brexit as an event. Brexit is a process. It will take years to unfold... We will need to be industrious...
