“Whether we like it or not, Brexit will happen at 11 PM on 29 March, 2019. That much is sure, and is what the people voted for in a free and fair Referendum. What is less clear, and something which only the bravest of soothsayers would have a shot at predicting, is what Britain will be like after that.” So says long-time Brexiteer British Parliamentarian, James Gray. Much of this book reflects aspects of his twenty-one years in Parliament – as a backbencher, defence and foreign affairs specialist, and fulfilling a variety of front bench jobs while the Tories were in Opposition (as a Whip, Shadow Defence Minister, Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs, and Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland). In this groundbreaking book, he tries to lay out what he thinks – or perhaps hopes – Britain will look like over the generations to come. He touches on almost every aspect of British life – from defence and foreign affairs, to the countryside, universities and public services. He looks at Parliament, business and the economy, international trade; at overseas aid, security and law and order. Above all else, Gray lays out his thoughts about the essential ethos of Britain and the British; and what we will therefore make of our EU-free future. It’s a wide-ranging, readable, light-hearted and intensely personal stimulus to debate over what the future holds for Britain.
