A delightful and essential compendium of words, new, old or abused through Brexit.

BLUNDER:
To mistake grossly, to err very widely. 'Someone had blundered' (Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Charge of the Brexit Brigade)

EUTHANASIA:
An easy death. Strangulation by EU regulations, according to Brexiters.

From 'cock-up' to 'tumorous' via 'buffoon' and 'May', Johnson's Brexit Dictionary is a delightful, witty and essential compendium inspired by Dr Johnson's original and updated for our turbulent times.
