About this listen
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.

Thoroughly recommend but this isn't really one which you can jump into as your first. For the best experience you will have to go back to "All Out War" and move on from there
This was always going to be the most difficult to approach in the Saga with most of the plot revolving around backroom conniving in Westminster and Brussels, still Shipman has managed to once more create an engaging and enlightening piece of political documentation. I have particularly enjoyed the increased amounts of retrospection in this book, a product no doubt of the delayed release and evolution from a simple trilogy into a four part saga.
As always Farlay's narration is on point and enrapturing, with a good pace and variation in tone and impressions. Something sadly missing in too many of the political histories that I have been filling the gap with.
I do, before I go onto the final book, have a few hangups over the final stretch. Clearly there was a lot to cover in this volume and it is truly worth it, but my main hang up going into "OUT" is, will there be enough "Brexit content"? This book finishes with the arrival of Boris, but I wonder if there is enough Brexit information to fill another Volume of assumedly comparative size. I'll know soon I suppose.

Brexit should have been a golden opportunity to sort Britain out but instead, because of the above we are now still hampered by an agreement, 90% agreed under May that we will spend years moving away from, or even closer back to.
I suppose we can say that we are now the only genuine fully democratic sovereign country in the whole of Western Europe or would be if we leave the ECHR and return to a democratic rule of law.
Brexit is still a process, not an event and we are slowly edging ourselves to a better future. The Trans pacific trade membership membership and AUKUS defence.
I am sure the people of Ukraine would appreciate that the UK could act without eu agreement before Russia even launched its invasion without seeking an eu common approach. Well done UK.
