The Secret Civil Servant Promises to Show Inside Story of Brexit

Whatever newspaper you read it’s hard not to notice that Brexit negotiations aren’t really going as planned and no amount of shouting ‘the will of the people’ seems to be helping us get a good deal, or a promise that we won’t walk away with nothing.

Now an anonymous civil servant has written a “hilarious and horrifying” account of the government amid the chaos that is Brexit and it’s due for release a few weeks before the UK is due to leave the European Union.

The Secret Civil Servant: The Inside Story of Brexit, Government F**k-Ups and How We Try to Fix Things will be published in March 2019 and has been authored by a civil servant working for the British government in Westminster. The author says they are “writing anonymously because Theresa May probably won’t find any of this very funny.” And while we don’t know who it is we do know that the author has previously published a series of columns with the New Statesman revealing shocking and humorous anecdotes about the Brexit negotiations.

The book is billed to be an insightful look behind closed doors at the UK government amid the Brexit negotiations, covering all aspects from the corridors of Whitehall to the EU negotiating table.

The Secret Civil Servant will be out in hardback on 7th March 2019.
