'READ THIS BOOK!' - JAMES O'BRIEN
'A LUCID PRIMER ON HOW TO RESIST THE APPEASEMENT OF REFORM' -TLS
The far right is now mainstream in British politics.
In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right rally in Britain’s history, after a summer of flag-waving protests. The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.
Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed, yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it.
In If We Tolerate This, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it’s too late.
