Tim Shipman is Political Editor of The Spectator magazine, bringing unparalleled insight into British politics through his extensive network of Westminster contacts and analytical expertise honed over two decades covering political upheaval.
As former Chief Political Commentator at the Sunday Times, Tim authored four definitive books on post-Brexit British politics that sold over 150,000 copies. His journalistic excellence has earned him fourteen major award nominations, including the rare distinction of winning both political reporter and political commentator of the year.
Tim translates complex political developments into actionable intelligence for organisations navigating uncertainty. His coverage of seven general elections, three referendums, and four US elections—including a rare interview with Donald Trump—provides clients with contextual understanding of how political decisions impact business strategy and regulatory environments across the UK-US corridor.
Audiences leave Tim's presentations with a clear grasp of Westminster's hidden power dynamics, practical insights into upcoming political shifts affecting their industry, and entertaining behind-the-scenes stories that illuminate how political decisions are really made.
