What They're Saying
Critics Review
It is richly argued and beautifully written… WTF has the prime virtue of encouraging the reader to reflect and argue. Peston has the journalist’s gift of the striking turn of phrase, the telling anecdote, and the ability to explain complex economic problems in straightforward terms. But his book is far more than clever journalism. It is a deeply thoughtful analysis that should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand where we have gone wrong. - Financial Times
A work of meticulous analysis that is also an inspiring, and often moving, manifesto for change. Beautifully-written, it is a manual for our times that everyone should read.Informed, personal, angry and funny: Peston lets rip in an immensely readable and thought-provoking book. Essential reading. - StylistThis is a more radical, more passionate, swearier book than I would have expected from Peston - and the better for it… WTF? is a great primer on how we ended up here. To escape this mess, we must first understand that. - London Evening StandardWTF? is a well-argued and comprehensive account of how we became the divided nation that is post-EU referendum Britain and it suggests some thoughtful policy levers that future governments might pull to bring us back together. - ExpressThis gripping and persuasive account of the mess facing liberal democracy ends with some optimism that politicians will rise to the challenge of responding to the tide of hopelessness. - i newspaperWTF? is possibly the best summary of Britain’s problems to be released in recent years. - Young FabianAbout The Author
