Synopsis
Read by Rory Kinnear (Black Mirror, James Bond, Toxic Town)
From political journalist Daniel Trilling, If We Tolerate This is a vital look at Britain's alarming shift towards far-right politics and what can be done to reverse it.
The language of the far right is now in the mouths of our mainstream political leaders, from Labour to the Conservatives.
In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right march in Britain's history, after a summer of flag-waving protest. The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.
Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed and yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it.
In this short, urgent and brilliantly illuminating book, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it's too late.
