Still banging on about the book at festivals everywhere - do get it to keep elderly relatives quiet over summer - plus thanks to @MatthewStadlen for this interview and there were people there, honest 😉

"Do you think that the state of Israel, as a safe home for Jews after the Holocaust and after the pogroms, has a right to exist?"
@bbcnickrobinson repeatedly asks Green Party leader Zack Polanski.
Had the honour/honor of hosting a @Scaramucci event the other day and the guy is on fire - he’s also some serious things to say in the book about America’s future. Massive recommend 💥
Today's the day. ALL THE WRONG MOVES is officially out in the world.
I'm about to head out on the US tour and do a lot of press in the coming weeks, and before the whirlwind really kicks off, I wanted to take a moment to say something simple: I will never forget what it took to write this book.
The blood, sweat, tears, and time that went into it - the early mornings, the rewrites, the moments of doubt - it's all in these pages now. Writing a book is a strange kind of vulnerability. You spend months, sometimes years, wrestling with ideas in private, and then one day you just release it. It's out of your hands.
I'm beyond grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way, the people who read early drafts, and everyone who's already pre-ordered or shown up for this launch. You made this possible.
If you've been thinking about it, it would mean the world to me if you considered picking up a copy today. Whether you get the hardcover, audiobook (read by me), or ebook, every order on launch day makes a real difference.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
Great Show in Bath with @Scaramucci - here we are afterwards with someone who sounded remarkably like Donald Trump

This is very good - I’m not sure he really ‘shifted right’ though: he didn’t like authority and he thought different people were in charge so he went after them. In the 80s his contempt was for posh white men including (outrageously) me.
ROD LIDDLE:
An amazing bloke. He sent me out to do a Today programme piece on the new Millwall stadium in 1990 (his team), and said "it should not be less than 8 minutes long, and we will lead with it." There followed the obligatory BBC defenestration by people half as talented. He shifted right and remained hilariously... Rod. He combined brutality, humour and kindness. I'm really sorry to hear he's gone. RIP mate.
I knew Rod Liddle off and on since we were kids on the Today Programme in the early 80s. He was brilliant, he was kind. He was so so funny. He will be massively missed.
Evan’s tribute spot on. Ed was also very funny, self deprecating and unpompous. His autobiography - Confessions- is beautiful.
Feeling so sad at the news of the death of Ed Stourton.
He was a very important figure for all of us on the daily news programmes on @BBCRadio4. One of those people you're really glad to have around. All substance, minimum ego, deeply knowledgeable, totally reliable.
And he was one of the nicest of colleagues as well. He'll be missed.

"You’ve said in the past ‘trans women are women’. Have you changed your mind?"
@JustinOnWeb asks new Health Secretary James Murray if he’s shifted his position like predecessor Wes Streeting.
This is an extraordinary piece of work - one of those featured is Carole Hooven, the Harvard evolutionary biologist who lost her job for saying sex is real ...
