What if the bitter wounds caused by Brexit do not heal? What if the Brexit vote, UKIP, even the BNP and the EDL what if all that was just the beginning? Joe Newman is the mainstream Labour MP for a traditional, working-class constituency in the North of England until Momentum try to oust him. Unwittingly they unleash a tide that could destroy not only Labour and the Conservatives but also every assumption anyone has ever made about what is acceptable in the mainstream of British politics. This is also a study of how political success and personal disintegration can go hand in hand.
