In February 2019, five Members of Parliament Ann Coffey, Anna Soubry, Chris Leslie, Joan Ryan, and Mike Gapes left the political parties they had belonged to for decades to form a new party. This book based on hours of interviews charts the process by which each of them came to make such a momentous and life-changing decision.

None of them regrets their actions, and they would do the same again.

"The actions of the five Members of Parliament are a challenge to a party system which instead of protecting against extremism, can become the vehicle for it." - Peter McNab
