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 unerring next installment in Tim Shipman's series of books on Brexit.

Following the bestselling books "All Out War" and "Fall Out," this book starts from 2017 to provide an unfiltered narrative of some of the most turbulent years in British politics.

In the company of all the key players and with countless revelations never told before, "No Way Out" follows the unprecedented disasters and triumphs of Theresa May's tenure. Interwoven with characteristic humor and wisdom, Shipman narrates the story of May’s three main negotiations – first with her cabinet, then with the EU, and finally with parliament – and captures her downfall in fascinating detail.

This is the ultimate inside story of three of the government's most tumultuous and significant years, revealing the strategies, risks, mistakes, mindsets, and scandals that have shaped and shaken Britain.

As always, political analyst and Sunday Times chief commentator Tim Shipman reveals a wealth of information – and gossip – to uncover democratic action as it really happened.

‘The amount of work required to tell a complex, multi-dimensional story in such detail is admirable. What do we learn? Well, lots of things that genuinely interest political observers and historians. Is his book worth it? In the end, unquestionably yes... in an age of brief social media attention, this is serious work, the real substance of understanding. Historians will rely on it heavily. Future political leaders will learn from it. It will set the narrative for how Brexit was managed in a way that only other journalists could envy.’ - ANDREW MARR, NEW STATESMAN
