If We Tolerate This : How the British establishment made the far right respectable, Daniel Trilling

The far right is now mainstream in British politics. If We Tolerate This is a short, gripping and essential book on how we got here, and what we can do about it. 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 this urgent and riveting book, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it’s too late.
