The inside story of the rise and fall of the Barclay brothers, secretive business titans and one-time owners of the Ritz and the Daily Telegraph

Born poor, the Barclay brothers were enigmatic twins who built one of the biggest fortunes in Britain together from scratch and spent six decades at the epicentre of business, media and politics. Their empire, said to be worth £7bn at its height, included Littlewoods, the Ritz Hotel, the Daily Telegraph and the channel island of Brecqhou. They were major advocates for Brexit and well-connected with influential politicians including Margaret Thatcher, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage.

And yet despite their fortune and influence, their fiercely guarded desire for privacy has meant that their story has remained largely unknown - until a very public family dispute pitched Barclay against Barclay in the High Court.

In You May Never See Us Again, journalist Jane Martinson unravels the fascinating story of these once inseparable billionaire brothers. Through their lives she offers compelling insights into post-war Britain, from the conditions that enabled their way of doing business to thrive, through to the tightly enmeshed webs of influence between capitalism, politics and the media that shape Britain today.

Jane Martinson is a journalist and academic who first reported on the Barclay empire in 2004. She worked at the Financial Times before spending 18 years at the Guardian, latterly as a senior member of the editorial team. In 2018 she became the Professor of Financial Journalism at City, University of London and started to investigate the Barclay brothers soon after. Jane remains a regular columnist for the Guardian and frequently appears on broadcast media including BBC News, ITV's Good Morning, Sky News, and BBC Radio 4.
