Summary
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.

Worth the wait
At long last Shipman's Brexit Saga continues, I have been waiting for this book for almost five years now and it lives up to my expectations.
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.

The third book continues the theme of being essential listening
I could write a long review here but the summary is all you need - if you are remotely interested in politics and understanding what lay behind the decisions (mess) of the May government - read this. Excellent

Fascinating insights - a must read
Whilst I know and remember so much of the story, it was great to hear it all pieced together and with such detailed insight. It’s such a sorry tale and one which could have been avoided. Well worth reading what will forever be a moment in our history. Looking forward to the next instalment! A must read for anyone who loves politics or history.

Wonderful
Absolutely loved the whole thing. I actually booked a day off twice but cancelled them due to delayed publication! Very much worth the wait and I look forward to the final volume!

Essential Listening
I’ve listened to all three volumes thus far and I’ve learned more about how contemporary politicians think, behave and act than I thought possible. I would put these books on every A Level Politics syllabus. Superb.

Essential reading
Waited a long time for book 3 but it’s been well worth the wait. An essential read for anyone who’s interested in the detail of the Brexit process. Brilliantly narrated again by Rupert Farley who has managed to add another dimension to the three books (to date). I’ve dropped one star as I felt the impartiality of the two previous books was slightly less evident. There seemed to be an intentionally limited criticism of Johnson and his behaviours. All in all an excellent listen, roll on book 4!

More biased than the first two
the author is pretty even handed on most issues but areas around Corbyn seem one sided and lazy.

Mispronouncements
Disappointing audio version, with many common words and names mispronounced. Please improve the next book.

Too early, too long
I'm very interested in politics, but despite everyone telling me to read this, I resisted. Now I regret using my monthly credit on it. I should have stuck to my reasons for avoiding this book : opening up old wounds ( I'm a remainer), re-living the horrendously stupid behaviour of our self-obsessed, power-drunk, fat-on-arrogance elected MPs ( thankfully most now kicked out), the pointless insider details of the Westminster bubble crew, and the needlessness of doing all thus so early. But I accept I'm in a minority.
