What If Reform Wins

'The must-read UK politics book of the summer' The Guardian 'A gripping and important book' Andrew Marr 'By turns entertaining and downright terrifying' The Telegraph A compulsive, chilling nonfiction thriller that imagines what could happen if Reform win a majority at the next general election. At 10pm on 28th June 2029, exit polls predict that Nigel Farage will be the 60th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This is the story of what could happen next. What If Reform Wins is a chilling and deeply researched scenario that takes us day-by-day, minute-by-minute through a world in which Reform has the opportunity to put their policies into practice, from deporting 600,000 people to leaving the ECHR, abandoning net zero and ending the BBC's licence fee. How will people fight back against mass deportations and fracking? And will this self-described 'ill-disciplined pirate ship' survive the rigours of government? Drawing on dozens of new interviews, Peter Chappell, a reporter at The Times, explores a nation on a new and dystopian path.
