THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

?'Meticulously sourced, merciless and revelatory. It is a closely observed study of power, and how it is gained, used and lost' FINANCIAL TIMES

The unmissable next instalment of Tim Shipman's #1 bestselling Brexit quartet.


To follow his bestselling books All Out War and Fall Out, this book launches off from 2017 to offer an unflinching, unfiltered account of some of the most turbulent years of British politics.

In the company of all the key players and with countless never-before-revealed insights, No Way Out traces the unprecedented disasters and triumphs of Theresa May's tenure. Spun with characteristic wit and wisdom, Shipman tells the story of May's three great negotiations - first, with her cabinet, then with the EU and finally with parliament - and chronicles her fall in thrilling detail.

This is the ultimate insider narrative to three of the most turbulent and impactful years of government, revealing the strategies, gambles, mistakes, mindsets and scandals that have shaped and shaken Britain.

As always, political insider and chief political commentator for the Sunday Times Tim Shipman unleashes a slew of insight - and gossip - to reveal the democratic drama as it really happened.

'The quantity of work required to tell a complicated, many-sided story in such detail is astonishing. What do we learn? Well, many things of genuine interest to political followers and historians. Is his book worth it? In the end, undoubtedly yes... in an age of short-attention-span social media caricature, this is proper work, the real stuff of understanding. Historians will lean on it heavily. Would-be political leaders of the future will learn from it. It will set the narrative about how Brexit was handled, in a way other journalists can only envy' ANDREW MARR, NEW STATESMAN

Industry Reviews

Praise for Fall Out

'The doyen of ... high-class gossip is ... Shipman, whose All Out War was last year's bestselling guide to the referendum campaign. Its sequel takes up where that left off ... Shipman's books are fast becoming classics ... It's testament to the rigour of [his] research that the book doesn't feel dated despite the speed at which events at Westminster have moved since it went to press' Gaby Hinsliff, Guardian

'This extraordinary book ... reads like a roaring farce ... jam-packed with fresh, illuminating details ... Shipman's writing has admirable clarity and drive ... For anyone who wants to relive the past year... this book is a must' Craig Brown, Mail On Sunday

'All Out War was the best political book published ... last year ... its triumphant sequel ... is even better' Alex Massie, Spectator

'Gripping ... If journalism is the "first rough draft" of history, then Shipman is the master of the second, tidied up, version of events ... A mixture of political thriller, psychological analysis and campaign diary, this is a page-turner for anyone interested in politics' Rachel Sylvester, The Times

'Readers who enjoyed the lucid prose and unrivalled access that made the first book such a treat will love its sequel' New Statesman

'Shipman ... a major-domo with a notebook in his waistcoat pocket ... bends over backwards to be fair ... It is crammed with detailed description and the transcribed thoughts of those who were there when the key decisions were taken' Andrew Marr, Sunday Times

'Excellent ... engrossing ... a witty phrase-maker ... Shipman does a fine job of making sense of the period since the Brexit referendum ... illuminating' Andrew Rawnsley, Observer
