I am pro-European Union and a strong Remain supporter. Readers looking for a balanced history of Brexit, including arguments that Brexit supporters believe have been vindicated, may feel that the book occasionally prioritises activism over analysis. Overall, A History of Brexit in 256 Disasters is a lively, well-researched, and often entertaining attack on Brexit. Brexit introduced new trade barriers for exports to the EU, including customs declarations, certification requirements, and border checks. And our friends in the European Union nations would have no confidence that any decision would survive our tumultuous politics.
