Alexander Hamilton didn’t just get a musical named after him but a city here in Ohio near Cincinnati. It used to be a fort with bloodthirsty past so hoping for calmer times tonight! Giving the One City One Book lecture on A Woman of No Importance at Miami University (confusingly). Very exciting!

Joyful start to my US book tour! Unexpectedly got upgraded on my flight to Cincinnati by #BA. Thank you. It was fab

I couldn’t agree with Ian Dunt more here. Please, enough of the flim flam and mysogny. And more of what will actually make our lives better. Because right now an awful lot of people are REALLY struggling and they don’t care if someone called Sue Gray earns 3 grand more than the PM

It would be nice if there was even a whiff of substance to the hostile reporting about Sue Gray. But there isn't. It's just superficial over-excitable tedious bullshit. inews.co.uk/opinion/the-...

The real story about Sue Gray

There's not a whiff of substance to this war on Sue Gray

Lovely audience at the Army & Navy Club for my talk on Pamela Harriman this morning after transport issues. Thank you! Sorry to those in the queue who could not buy #kingmaker copies as we very quickly ran out. Plenty in all good bookstores. But will defo bring far more next time!

Sorry - path not oath!

This is a political oath from Harriman to Harris 👇
