Let's Stay Together: Why Yes to Europe

by Denis MacShane

Overview

From the bestselling author of BREXIT comes a personal and passionate plea for voting 'Remain' on 23rd June. Denis MacShane, former Minister for Europe, is alarmed that the referendum debate so far has been too polite, too restrained. Now is the time for the gloves to come off, he insists. The result is a small book with a hugely important message.
