Join us for an evening with journalist and author Daniel Trilling who will be discussing his new book 'If We Tolerate This'.
About this Event

"The far right is now mainstream in British politics. If We Tolerate This is a short, gripping and essential book on how we got here, and what we can do about it. In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right rally in Britain’s history, after a summer of flag-waving protests.
The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers. Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed, yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it.

If We Tolerate This traces the origins of this moment and gives us the tools to stop this destructive narrative in its tracks. This is the essential, clear-sighted and informed response to a time of profound turbulence and misinformation."

'Racism and the rise of the far right in Britain are often discussed but rarely understood. Daniel Trilling is an exception . . . his voice must be heard' – Owen Jones

'Combining forensic enquiry with moral passion, Daniel Trilling has emerged as
one of our most intrepid and resourceful reporters' – Pankaj Mishra

Daniel Trilling writes about nationalism, migration and human rights for publications including the London Review of Books, the Guardian and the New York Times. His work has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize, the Political Book Awards and the Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing.
