Description
The EU, despite its frailties and strains, is a success story. This is a group of countries committed to upholding the values of the European Enlightenment - from the rule of law to fundamental human freedoms, economic prosperity and order. The advantages of leaving are illusory: no gains in trade from deals with protectionist China and the United States can compensate for what is being lost in Europe. Britain is weakening a pillar of the world's diplomatic and trade order at the same time as weakening itself - an act of self-harm, especially when so many countries beyond the west are retreating from democracy, free trade and progressive values. Britain's Brexit voters were right that the conditions of their lives were insupportable. But the solution is not to leave the EU. In Saving Britain Will Hutton and Andrew Adonis reveal the country's profound European roots, set out the programme that will transform the desperate lives of so many who voted to leave and argue that we must preserve what is a force for good at home and abroad.
