*This audiobook includes an exclusive conversation between the author and journalist John Merrick*

'Farage is Britain's new prime minister. Nirvana or nightmare? Whatever our reaction, we all need to take this scenario very seriously, as Peter Chappell's invigorating book does'
Anthony Seldon

'a dazzling imagined account of Nigel Farage’s first year in Number Ten: hilarious, terrifying and totally believable... Spoiler alert: it doesn’t end well.' Ferdinand Mount

A compulsive, chilling nonfiction thriller that imagines what might happen if Reform win a majority at the next general election.

At 10pm on 28th June 2029, exit polls predict that Nigel Farage will be the 60th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This is the story of what could happen next.

What If Reform Wins is a chilling and deeply researched scenario that takes us day-by-day, minute-by-minute through a world in which Reform has the opportunity to put their policies into practice, from deporting 600,000 people to leaving the ECHR, abandoning net zero and ending the BBC’s license fee. How will people fight back against mass deportations and fracking? And will this self-described ‘ill-disciplined pirate ship’ survive the rigors of government?

Drawing on dozens of new interviews, Peter Chappell, a reporter at The Times, explores a nation on a new and dystopian path.©2026 Peter Chappell (P)2026 ID Audio

Critic Reviews

a massive wake-up call
Brilliant.
By turns entertaining and downright terrifying
This is terrifically rich territory for a book... a lively and often witty political thriller that both is and isn't fiction, sketching the imagined arc of a Reform government from triumph to disaster (Gaby Hinsliff)
Chappell's power of mimicry is impressive
What If Reform Wins is a dazzling imagined account of Nigel Farage’s first year in Number Ten: hilarious, terrifying and totally believable. As a counterfactual, it ranks alongside Robert Harris’s Fatherland and When William Came, Saki’s vision of Britain under the Kaiser. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t end well.
Farage is Britain’s new prime minister. Nirvana or nightmare? Whatever our reaction, we all need to take this scenario very seriously, as Peter Chappell’s invigorating book does.
a gripping and important book for anyone in politics (Andrew Marr)
my toilet paper is worth more than what the book is written on
