Critics Review
How They Broke Britain made me so angry I had to stop listening to it while driving. Superb work – The Secret Barrister
A damning account of how the country ended up in the current mess … O’Brien’s scathing voice provides a thorough record of the self-serving actions and pronouncements of those who have held power in Britain – Tim Jonze * Guardian *
The most important political book of the year and a fascinating must-read for anyone who cares about Britain. Eye-opening, jaw-dropping, heart-breaking – Carol Vorderman
O’Brien is a punchy and compelling writer. The book is fluent, engaging and thoroughly researched … O’Brien eviscerates all of his targets * Times Literary Supplement *
A compelling, thought-provoking and illuminating read. O’Brien doesn’t hold any punches … It is a book that will make you gasp in shock, shake your head in bewilderment and wonder how any of this was allowed to take place in 21st-century Britain * Herald *
[A] brilliant exposé of those who deliberately turned a once admired country into an economically poorer, lamentable parody of its former self: the Brexiteer neoliberal right, their Tory MPs, journalists and think tanks who inflicted such massive self-harm – Peter Hain
O’Brien’s new book confirms that not only are our politicians and their backers as corrupt and incompetent as you suspected they were, it’s actually worse than that. And it’s packed full of facts about Brexit, Think Tanks and Tory sleaze that will help you win argument after argument with your irritating relatives – Stewart Lee
Excoriating – Jon Sopel
It’s essential. It should make you angry. Fuming * Adam Rutherford *
Intelligent, forensic, devastating and shocking – How They broke Britain is as terrifying as it is brilliant – Peter Stefanovic
