'Peter Wilding thinks positively. Written from a ring-side-seat, his account of what's gone wrong, and how to put it right, makes timely and compelling reading.' - John (Lord) Kerr, former Ambassador to the European Union, Ambassador to the United States, Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office and Head of the Diplomatic Service, 'Peter Wilding's What Next? is a welcome overview of Britain's troubled and tumultuous relations with the rest of Europe, all the more welcome coming, as it does, just after a raucous and dispiriting referendum campaign. It reminds us that the essential part is to make a success of the follow-up on which Peter Wilding produces some thought-provoking ideas.' - David (Lord) Hannay, former Ambassador to the European Union, Ambassador to the United Nations and author of Britain's Quest for a Role: A Diplomatic Memoir from Europe to the UN, 'Peter Wilding's provocative take on Britain's complex relationship with the EU includes some profound historical analysis, especially on the European philosophies of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. He reminds us that both were, at least some of the time, passionately engaged Prime Ministers. Inspired by those two greats, Wilding sets out a patriotic and positive agenda for Britain to lead in Europe.' Charles Grant, Director of the Centre for European Reform
