From Brexit to Bregret tells the fascinating tale of the United Kingdom exiting the European Union. Promised by Tory Prime Minister David Cameron, the UK held a referendum in 2016 which showed a narrow majority (52%) in favour of leaving the EU. A few years later, another Tory Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, got Brexit done. Following this, in May 2023, 56% of all British people believed that it was wrong to leave, while just 32% still thought that it was the right decision. Another 2023 poll showed that 62% agreed that Brexit was a mistake . In other words, in the years after Brexit, many Brits started to regret Brexit. Bregret is felt strongly. Yet, From Brexit to Bregret not just tells the story of how it came to Brexit, looking at the political side (how Brexit won). It also shows the role of the media (Brexiting through the media) and highlights the part that Dark Money (and dirty politics) played. The second part of the book reports stories of local people suffering from Brexit, their anxieties when Brexit started to bite back, and the Schadenfreude felt by some in the I-told-you-so camp. Finally, the book closes with a sober assessment of what Brexit will mean for Britain and the European Union in the coming years.
