The highly anticipated latest book in the Brexit series by bestselling author Tim Shipman.

“Captivating… Fast-paced and full of mouthwatering details… Shipman places you in the room… His analysis is sharp and insightful… For those seeking an inside chronicle, there will be no equal” FT

How did Boris Johnson manage to surpass Theresa May and become Prime Minister of Britain? How did he fulfill his promise to complete Brexit despite many Brexit ministers, repeated coup attempts and reshuffles, as well as his difficult relationship with Brussels? What really happened in Downing Street – from political choices to the decoration of party gatherings – as the pandemic caught the world in its grip?

The book follows the journey from May’s resignation to the disputes over the final Brexit deal, the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the shortest-serving Prime Minister in history.

If the pre-Theresa May era at Westminster was mainly focused on the clever idealistic outlook of The West Wing, stuffed with the comedy of The Thick of It, the allegory of these years became Game of Thrones, the pseudo-medieval epic story that pits rival factions in the quest for the iron throne. At the center of the action was Tim Shipman, senior political commentator for the Sunday Times, recording the facets and the tears.

The book presents a thrilling, subversive narrative of the most dramatic years in modern British politics.
