Britain's departure from the European Union is filled with propaganda and myth but the risks are very real. With the help of constitutional and trade experts, political journalist Ian Dunt explains why exiting the EU is likely to make the UK poorer, leave industries like pharmaceuticals and finance struggling to operate, and possibly break up the UK.
This is the first full public exploration of Brexit shorn of the wishful thinking of its supporters in the media and Parliament. It is the real picture of a country about to undergo a sudden self-inflicted isolation.
Ian will be discussing his book and its implications with Guardian journalist Rafael Behr.
We were super excited to welcome 2016 Man Booker Prize winner Paul Beatty to Hackney on Friday night, and if you weren’t lucky enough to nab a ticket before they sold out, you can now listen to the whole thing below. Thank you to Sunny Singh for chairing the event, and to our amazing customers who asked some really insightful, relevant and thought-provoking questions. Paul remarked during the talk that it was one of the better discussions he’s had in a long time!
Huge thanks to Admas Habteslasie for the recording.
