Unleashing Demons
Unleashing Demons: The Inside Story of Brexit | Craig Oliver
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
As David Cameron's director of Politics and communications, Craig Oliver was in the room at every key moment during the EU referendum - the biggest political event in the UK since World War 2. Craig Oliver worked with all the players, including David Cameron, George Osbourne, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Jeremy Corbyn, Boris Johnson,Michael Gove, Theresa May and Peter Mandelson. Unleashing Demons is based on his extensive notes, detailing everything from the decision to call a referendum, to the subsequent civil war in the Conservative Party and the aftermath of the shocking result. This is raw history at its very best, packed with enthralling detail and colourful anecdotes from behind the closed doors of the campaign that changed British history.

A good fly on the wall account, not full of political analysis but a good read if you like political gossip.
Still saddens me and I've yet to see anything that convinces me it's a good thing.

Andrew65 It seems to be a very big countdown, they must have started from a large number! You'd be less worried if they had a plan or you had confidence (not) in the people in charge. To this day I don't know why a referendum was called, Tony Blair (love or loathe him) always had the sense to step back from that one. 7y
TrishB @miralunasbooknook @Balibee146 @Andrew65 no plan before or after from what I can see 😔 we'll all be keeping our fingers crossed...... 7y

Balibee146 yup just greed, ambition and the worst sort of insular imperialist thinking. Especially galling that many of those screaming Better Together a few months earlier were suddenly hell bent on tearing us out of our bigger union 😠😠😠 7y
quietlycuriouskate Don't get me started...😤 You'd think the Eurovision song contest would be a sufficient humiliation on the world stage, but evidently it's not. 7y
TrishB @Balibee146 @River_Voice so saddening.....😢 7y
