About
In 2025 we saw the biggest far right rally in Britain's history, after a summer of flag-waving protest. In this short, urgent and brilliantly illuminating book Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this perilous moment and what we can do to change course before it's too late.
The language of the far right is now in the mouths of our mainstream political leaders, from Labour to the Conservatives.
Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed and yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it.
If We Tolerate This traces the origins of this moment and gives us the tools to stop this destructive narrative in its tracks. This is the essential, clear-sighted and informed response to a time of profound turbulence and misinformation.
