Synopsis
"The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller It’s time we get back to common sense. It’s time to cancel the cancel culture. It’s time to Wake Up. If, like me, you’re sick and tired of being told how to think, speak, eat and behave, then this book is for you . . ."
In 2020, the world faced its biggest crisis in a generation: a global pandemic. In the UK, it exposed deep divisions within society and laid bare a toxic culture war that had been raging beneath the surface. From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the Government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis.
COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country. Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest and the virtue-signalling woke brigade continued their furious assault on free speech, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. Yet just as coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our healthcare staff. A greater appreciation of migrant workers. A return of local community spirit. And inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Sir Tom Moore.
Wake Up is Piers' rallying cry for a united future in which we reconsider what really matters in life. It is a plea for the return of true liberalism, where freedom of speech is king. Most of all, it is a powerful account of how the world finally started to wake up, and why it mustn't go back to sleep again.

External Reviews
'A fast, entertaining read' - The Guardian.
'A very timely trumpet blast' - Saga.
"Wake Up’ is a challenging and disturbing appraisal of life in the UK during 2020 - the year of Covid-19. Naturally, the global Pandemic figures very significantly throughout the book, but it also confronts some of the most dangerous and frightening aspects of British life in the 21st Century –amongst them the increasing threat to free speech and personal freedom, the obsession with ‘political correctness’, power wielded by unelected government advisers, online abuse and bullying, and poor parental upbringing creating a weak, anxiety ridden and disaffected youth." - Goodreads Review.
