It is the question that has plagued social media for the past five years, with both sides of the debate completely fed up of even having the conversation. Leave voters are fed up of answering the question with their answers ignored, and Remain voters are fed up with not getting answers they feel sufficient.
Gully Foyle has been answering this question in ever greater volume on the X/Twitter social media platform for many years now, but as the volume of benefits increase and the demand for detail and context along with it, the medium of 280-character limited posts is no longer suitable to do justice to the list and its contents.
This book looks to set the record straight - there are of course many tangible benefits to having left the European Union, and it doesn't require a damascene conversion to the Brexit cause to admit that that is the case. Benefits exist. Disbenefits exist.
In this book the author provides the explanation and the context for 75 such benefits, with all the source material provided so you can confirm for yourself that benefits do, indeed, exist. In great number. From animal rights protections to motor insurance premiums, from nuclear submarines to zero VAT on green energy. Benefits that affect and improve for every single person in the UK.
To quote Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Daily Telegraph September 19th 2025: "We are seeing the long-tail consequences of the myopic way that Brussels handled Brexit. Did it never enter the heads of the EU political class that it might have been wiser to drop the punitive pedantry and try harder to keep the UK fully onside?
Project 2025, the strategic blueprint for the Trump 2.0 presidency, stated explicitly that the US has a national interest in ensuring that post-Brexit Britain does not "slip back into the orbit of the EU". This became urgent after the election of a pro-European Labour Government. Brussels has carelessly let Washington snatch its prey.
Some of the eye-watering sums promised under this Atlantic tech alliance might have come our way if the UK were still part of the EU – American AI "hyperscalers" are building data centres in Spain – but the best of it is possible only because Britain is today a self-governing state and is not legally bound by the precautionary immobilism of Brussels.
"The UK is going to be an AI superpower," said Jensen Huang, head of $4tn (£2.9tn) chip giant Nvidia. If so, it is because this country is regulating AI as an opportunity to be seized, while the EU is regulating it as a threat to be contained".
Despite a Remoaner Prime Minister and Labour Party the benefits of Brexit are so overwhelming that even they, begrudgingly, claim its successes as their own.
Whether you are on either side of the debate or one of the few on the fence wanting more information, this book will provide you with the necessary information to come to an informed decision for yourself - that there are indeed benefits of Brexit.
