Iain Dale’s very bad Brexit reading list

“I think the Chancellor needs to put this book on her reading list, given her comments today,” posted LBC presenter Iain Dale on Bluesky this week, with a link to the online bookseller Politicos (operator: one Iain Dale).

Dale was responding to Rachel Reeves’s Pope-is-Catholic proclamation that Boris Johnson’s botched Brexit deal had caused long-term damage to the UK economy by posting a link to 75 Brexit Benefits by Gully Foyle, a pseudonymous X user.

New World readers may have read an excoriating review of ‘Foyle’’s book by Jonty Bloom last week under the headline ‘The worst pro-Brexit book ever written’. Bloom wrote that “if this is the best that its supporters can come up with, I am afraid it counts more as another condemnation of the enormous level of self-inflicted harm that Brexit has forced on us. It tells a sad tale about how far from the real world its diminishing band of supporters still are.”

Still, if you must read it and want to avoid giving the very silly Dale a cut, it’s available on Amazon – where it last week crashed into the bestseller charts at number 2,572.
