Peter Foster's What Went Wrong With Brexit cuts through six years of rhetoric to explain the real economic costs of leaving the EU and what might be done next. Led by Donkeys tells the story of four ordinary friends who used ladders and billboards to hold politicians accountable for their own words. Together they offer readers a rounded, honest look at how Brexit unfolded and how public accountability actually works, from Westminster policy rooms to roadside hoardings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis set brings together two very different but complementary accounts of the Brexit era. Peter Foster, public policy editor at the Financial Times, spent years reporting on the UK-EU negotiations, and his book distills that reporting into a clear-eyed audit of the promises made during the referendum campaign versus the economic reality that followed. Rather than relitigating old arguments, Foster focuses on productivity, competitiveness, and living standards, and sets out practical policy directions for a more prosperous Britain. It is written for readers who want a rigorous, non-partisan explanation rather than another round of slogans.\n\nLed by Donkeys takes a different approach: it is the inside story of a guerrilla billboard campaign run by four friends who had no political experience but a talent for research and a way with a ladder. By tracking down politicians' own quotes and pairing them with later outcomes, the group turned roadside advertising sites into a running scoreboard of broken promises, sparking national media coverage and public debate. Illustrated throughout, the book captures the humor, risk, and improvisation behind a campaign that grew into a national phenomenon.\n\nRead side by side, the two hardbacks give buyers both the policy detail and the street-level story of modern political accountability, making this a rich collection for UK current affairs readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo matching hardbacks covering Brexit from both a policy and activism angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by an FT journalist and the founders of a well-known campaign group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, evidence-based explanations, not partisan talking points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA vivid, real-world account of grassroots campaigning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for UK politics and current affairs readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy hardback format built to last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat Went Wrong With Brexit: And What We Can Do About It — Peter Foster examines the economic promises made during the referendum and measures them against six years of real-world outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e\nLed by Donkeys: How Four Friends with a Ladder Took on Brexit — Four friends recount how they turned politicians' own quotes into billboards that reignited a national conversation about accountability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPeter Foster is the public policy editor of the Financial Times and previously served as Europe editor at the Telegraph, where he reported closely on the Brexit negotiations for several years. Led by Donkeys is written by the campaign's own founders, including Ben Stewart, James Sadri, and Oliver Knowles, alongside the wider collective known as Led By Donkeys. Together they built the guerrilla billboard campaign from scratch, using little more than ladders, paint, and a talent for digging up inconvenient political quotes to hold public figures accountable to their own words on the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSharp analysis meets grassroots grit in this matching hardback Brexit pairing.
