The unmissable final instalment of Tim Shipman’s #1 bestselling Brexit trilogy.
How did Boris Johnson supersede Theresa May to become Britain’s Prime Minister? How did he pursue his promise to Get Brexit Done amidst multiple Brexit secretaries, repeated coup attempts and reshuffles, and an extraordinarily terse relationship with Brussels? What really happened in Downing Street – from the political choices to the party place settings – as the pandemic took the world in its grip?


To follow his bestselling books All Out War and Fall Out, this book launches off from 2017 to offer an unflinching, unfiltered account of unprecedented times.


In the company of all the key players and with countless never-before-revealed insights, this book traces our political moment from May’s resignation through to the tussles over the final Brexit deal, the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and our shortest serving PM ever.


This is the ultimate insider narrative to the last five 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.
