Timothy James Shipman (born 13 May 1975) is a British journalist, who is the political editor of the British newspaper The Sunday Times.[2]

Shipman attended Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Horncastle in Lincolnshire, and studied History at Churchill College, Cambridge, graduating in 1996, where he was part of a losing Cuppers darts team, beaten by a Robinson team in the finals.[1] He has been a national newspaper journalist since 1997, working initially for the Express stable of newspapers before being appointed as a political correspondent for the Daily Mail in 2005.[1] He worked for the Sunday Telegraph as a Washington DC political correspondent, covering the 2008 United States elections and Barack Obama's campaign and subsequent victory. He has also previously written for the Daily Mail and the Sunday Express.[2]

He is the author of All Out War (2016) about the EU referendum in 2016[3] and Fall Out (2017) about the 2017 UK general election.[4] In 2017 he was awarded Press Journalist of the Year by the London Press Club.[1]

In March 2019, Shipman reported an alleged coup in the Conservative Party to remove the Prime Minister, Theresa May from office.[5] He was criticised for negative views about various Brexit-related marches, saying: "The urge to march for things and against things is one I have never understood. Why not write a letter instead?"[6]
