Into a year teeming with global volatility, David Cameron introduced another giant unknown, rolling the dice on Britain's most important economic relationship: its 43-year-old membership of the EU. In European capitals this was seen as an existential threat to the entire European project, while Eurosceptics across the UK saw it as the perfect moment to pull up the drawbridge. The political establishment fired back with a barrage of government data, third-country endorsements and world bodies' opinions, unsure whether these long-trusted political weapons weren't firing blanks. Breaking Point explains where post-referendum Britain is heading, how we got here, and what lessons might be learned. It combines analysis of official and off-the- record meetings with senior politicians as well as with ordinary voters.
