How to Stop Brexit (and Make Britain Great Again)

I’ll admit: I approached this audiobook skeptical that yet another Brexit takedown could offer anything new. But Nick Clegg’s performance—both as writer and narrator—changed my mind within minutes. There’s something hypnotic about hearing him dissect the ‘will of the people’ myth in that calm, slightly nasal baritone, like watching a chess grandmaster explain why your opening move was a blunder. His pacing is deliberate, almost clinical, which suits the material; this isn’t a fiery rallying cry but a methodical dismantling of Brexit’s legal and political vulnerabilities. The standout section? His breakdown of how a second referendum could *actually* work, complete with timelines and parliamentary math. It’s the kind of granular detail you rarely hear in punditry, and Clegg’s narration sells it—he speeds up slightly when listing obstacles, as if impatient with the absurdity of it all. My two critiques: First, his occasional asides about ‘the metropolitan elite’ feel defensive, undercutting his otherwise laser-focused argument. Second, the production’s minimalist approach (no music, no effects) is fitting but might leave some listeners craving more dynamic energy. Still, for anyone who’s ever yelled at the radio during a Brexit debate, this is the audiobook equivalent of a masterclass in fighting back. Just don’t expect it to win over your Leave-voting uncle.
