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. 'The quantity of work required to tell a complicated, many-sided story in such detail is astonishing. What do we learn? Well, many things of genuine interest to political followers and historians. Is his book worth it? In the end, undoubtedly yes… in an age of short-attention-span social media caricature, this is proper work, the real stuff of understanding. Historians will lean on it heavily. Would-be political leaders of the future will learn from it. It will set the narrative about how Brexit was handled, in a way other journalists can only envy' ANDREW MARR, NEW STATESMAN

Dreams can be one our most valuable sources of self-knowledge - if we understand how to interpret their meaning and symbolism. Even if we awake from a nightmare that has seemed all too real, or a vivid dream teeming with what may be significant imagery, it is rare for us to reflect on it beyond breakfast, or make it more than the subject of an idle chat with friends. From the five stages of sleep to the effects of sleep deprivation, from Freud's legacy to the work of contemporary dream specialists, a wide range of material unfolds, all beautifully and lucidly described.Paul Roland explores:The science of sleep and dreams The effect of sleep deprivation Sensory deprivation Lucid dreams The psychology of sleep Freud's legacy and Jung and the House of Psyche Find out about waking dreams and dreams of prophecy, prediction, disaster, and inspiration or consult the Dream Directory for a closer analysis of more than 200 detailed dream scenarios.

A riveting account of courageous resistance from the bestselling author of Balcony Over JerusalemLonglisted for the 2025 Walkley Award On 24 February 2022, residents of Kyiv, Ukraine, woke to the sound of explosions and gunfire as Russian forces attempted to seize Hostomel Airport. It marked the beginning of the first land war in Europe since World War II. Under the leadership of the charismatic Volodymyr Zelensky, a militarized resistance and a civilian army of volunteers combined to defy Vladimir Putin. By day, visitors to Kyiv might mistake it for any other charming European city. But when night falls, sirens wail and citizens sleep in bathrooms and bunkers to escape the persistent dangers of incoming missiles. This war is fought daily on both the front lines and the home front. Resourceful civilians - from old punk rockers and bikers to university professors and corporate brand managers - provide every bit of help they can, outwitting and outmanoeuvring the Russian army with drones, cyber tech, and sheer ingenuity. As Ukraine's long-term future captures the focus of global leaders in Russia, Europe and the US, veteran journalist and ABC Global Affairs Editor John Lyons takes readers into the heart of a nation under siege. He interviews Ukrainians who stand tall in the face of an increasingly brutal conflict and an uncertain future. These are the stories of ordinary civilians making extraordinary contributions, determined to fight back in every way possible to ensure the survival of themselves, their families, and the soul of their nation.

Call on the Archeiai - the wisdom-keepers of feminine aspects of the angelic rays - for protection and support.Angels are androgynous and can express themselves as male or female, simply embodying masculine or feminine energy. These 'new' angels are called the Archeiai, a feminine term for archangels. They are stepping forward as our global consciousness is expanding and the world is ready for them. They have always been around but our patriarchal past made it difficult for us to resonate with them. Angels can help in many practical ways such as offering psychic protection, offering messages that can help you to progress in life, assisting you to align with people who can help you advance in life, supporting you to open your heart to forgive others, and performing miracles for your highest good.The 44 cards in this deck are comprised of 13 Master Angel cards and 31 angelic wisdom teaching cards. Each master card represents one of the 13 Archeiai. Pulling one of these cards suggests that the chosen angel is drawing your awareness to her presence. See this as an invitation to invoke her powerful healing light. The 31 angelic wisdom teaching cards offer direct insight into the circumstance that you are inquiring about. They offer you guidance for your soul's highest good. By accepting the angel's wisdom teachings, you will receive far more than a message; you will learn to ignite the Divine Feminine within yourself.
