Will Trump’s conviction change voting intentions? I’ve written an essay for @WSJ on the character traits we value in leaders and the role of motivated reasoning in political decision making: wsj.com/politics/elect…

I've had the honour of reading David's book on connection and it is brilliantly fascinating - hugely recommended.

Just chaired what was, without doubt, the most emotional onstage interview I've ever done with John Niven about this book in Bath: whole room modulating from sobbing to whooping laughing and back: this book really is something else. The kind of book you insist others read.

I've never seen so many tearful, awestruck reviews, and they're all correct: this is a MAGNIFICENT book, and one you'll read, then insist all your friends buy, too, so you can talk about it late into the night. BRAVO Niv, you glorious bastard xxx

This stunning memoir by John Niven (@EstelleCostanza) comes out next week and I honestly can’t say how much it has affected me - an absolute page-turning, gut-punching book about two brothers. Gary Niven took his own life; John wrote this.

Let this be my final tweet/x. Nigel Farage is not news, his actions are gossip at best, irrelevant if we’re honest. Stop covering his impotent posturing.

That fucker @EstelleCostanza sent me his memoir. I’ve just started but it’s so good that I already know two things: 1) I won’t be able to concentrate on work till I’ve finished it, and 2) I’ll never try writing a memoir as it won’t measure up to this. Thanks John, old pal…
