‘Made me so angry I had to stop listening to it while driving. Superb’ THE SECRET BARRISTER
Something has gone really wrong in Britain.
Our economy has tanked, our freedoms are shrinking, and social divisions are growing. Our politicians seem most interested in their own careers, and much of the media only make things worse. We are living in a country almost unrecognisable from the one that existed a decade ago. But whose fault is it really? Who broke Britain and how did they do it?
Bold and incisive as ever, James O'Brien reveals the shady network of influence that has created a broken Britain of strikes, shortages and scandals. He maps the web connecting dark think tanks to Downing Street, the journalists complicit in selling it to the public and the media bosses pushing their own agendas. Over ten chapters, each focusing on a particular person complicit in the downfall, James O'Brien reveals how a select few have conspired - sometimes by incompetence, sometimes by design - to bring Britain to its knees.

Critic reviews
"How They Broke Britain made me so angry I had to stop listening to it while driving. Superb work." (The Secret Barrister)
"A damning account of how the country ended up in the current mess . . . O’Brien’s scathing voice provides a thorough record of the self-serving actions and pronouncements of those who have held power in Britain." (Tim Jonze)
"The most important political book of the year and a fascinating must-read for anyone who cares about Britain. Eye-opening, jaw-dropping, heart-breaking." (Carol Vorderman)

Exemplary detailed account of a horror story
Thank you James, and thanks to all the other journalists that you properly credit for refusing to accept the horrific lies we have been fed for so long. This work and your programme helps a great many of us from falling into complete despair. There is truth and people like you are determined it will get out there.

An excellent description of the Tory villains and Britain’s problems
Liked all of it discovered things I didn’t know about the Tory sh!t show that we have been living in. So much for patriots, traitors more like. Excellent book by James, compelling listening. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, it got worse.

Great book
Greatly detailed book that covers all that is wrong with current politics. I also like how he's not only focus on the Tory party but highlighted that labours positions has been nowhere near good enough.

A Stunning Analysis Of Our Downfall
Where to start, a really in depth look at just how bad the Tories have made Britain, and just how it has come to pass.
From Boris, to Truss, with all those others responsible for our decline, this is a must listen for anyone who wishes to see who is responsible, and how not repeat history in the future.

Gobsmacked.
it is easy to forget the reasons we are where we are. James reminds us in stunning clarity of the shady figures controlling the puppet strings at the top levels of our governments,
A great reminder of how hoodwinked the country has become, well written and very well read

All so true.
In typical O’Brien style, right to the point clearly and accurately. Should be read by every one in broken Britain.

😱
Hits the nail on the head. What depresses me is that no one (me included) knows how to fix either the Country (although money could do a lot) or our politics.
