Tremendously interesting analysis of the mess we've got ourselves into

- Judith Wood, Telegraph

Robert Peston's WTF is a work of meticulous analysis that is also an inspiring, and often moving, manifesto for change. Beautifully-written, <b>it is a manual for our times that everyone should read.</b>

Matthew d'Ancona

Informed, personal, angry and funny: Peston lets rip in <b>an immensely readable and thought-provoking book. </b>

Eddie Mair

Se alle

Essential reading.

Stylist

This is a <b>more radical, more passionate, swearier</b> book than I would have expected from Peston - and the better for it... WTF is <b>a great primer on how we ended up here</b>. To escape this mess, we must first understand that.

London Evening Standard

This <b>gripping and persuasive account of the mess facing liberal democracy</b> ends with some optimism that politicians will rise to the challenge of responding to the tide of hopelessness.

i newspaper

WTF is a <b>well-argued and comprehensive</b> 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.

Express

It is <b>richly argued and beautifully written</b>... <i>WTF </i>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 <b>should be mandatory reading</b> for anyone seeking to understand where we have gone wrong.

Financial Times

<i>WTF </i>is possibly the <b>best summary of Britain's problems</b> to be released in recent years.<i></i>

Young Fabian

Read the book, everyone. It's <b>a superb analysis of the state we're in and what we can do about it</b>.

Cole Moreton

<b>An unbuttoned and vitally even-handed analysis </b>that take in everything from the decline of social mobility to the tyranny of social media.

Metro

<b>Elegant analysis</b> of long term forces driving our politics (inc some solutions). Also a moving tribute to his dad.

Paul Waugh

The chapters on Tony Blair's and Gordon Brown's approach to borrowing, the handling of the banking crash and the failure to address economic inequality in its aftermath are <b>well worth bookmarking</b>.

Guardian

THE TOP 10 BESTSELLER'Richly argued and brilliantly written... a deeply thoughtful analysis that should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand where we have gone wrong.' Vernon Bogdanor, Financial TimesIn WTF? Robert Peston draws on his years of experience as a political, economics and business journalist to show us what has gone bad and gives us a manifesto to put at least some of it right. Framed by two letters to his father (who died in early 2016) WTF? is Robert Peston's highly personal account of what those who have ruled us for years got so badly wrong, and what we need to do to mend the terrible fractures in our society.With characteristic passion and clarity he looks at what must happen to prevent democracy being subverted by technocratic geniuses with the ability to manipulate social media, how and whether it is possible to make a success of leaving the EU, what the lessons should be of the appalling Grenfell Tower tragedy, whether robots can be stopped from taking our work, what can be done to staunch the widening gap between rich and poor, and how to raise living standards for all.WTF? is a trenchant, often entertaining account of the recent past. It is also a call to action, giving hope to all of us who believe that taking back control is not only vital, but possible.'A manual for our times that everyone should read.' Matthew d'Ancona
