Sorry to anyone who is disappointed I’m not coming to their town on book tour - have added a few more events but because I lose money doing this, three months was maximum I could do. Looking forward to it . Always meet so many wonderful people.

I sat down and talked to a hero , someone whose activism saves lives , one of the major inspirations for me leaving the BBC so I could speak freely - here is a transcript of some of the conversation I had with @lucia-oc.bsky.social at Laugharne nine days ago

I used to find George Carlin’s last comedy specials too nihilistic , but not anymore . I aim to make my performances upbeat and inspiring whenever possible because the alternative is too bleak - better to keep battling even if the conclusion seems inevitable

If Labour lose seats to Reform they can say “see, told you everyone is horribly right wing and racist so we were correct to get more right wing in our country of strangers “ whereas when they lose to Greens it’s “we thought betraying almost every promise Starmer said he stood by was a genius move , but turns out people aren’t the arseholes we want them to be but we are “

I am fascinated by how some in the anti trans movement cannot see how useful they are to the far right who will then remove all women’s rights. Each week, I seem to find out more about the mansion meetings of the anti trans activists who were determined to erase me from the BBC, and others complicity in this. It has been an important lesson in how power and hatred work together. Solidarity to all those whose lives are seen as collateral in this aggressive hatred .

When will this regression end? Conversion therapy? It was someone who was on the board of sex matters who played a major part in me resigning from Monkey Cage because they like to bully people into silence #lgbtq #lgbtqia

When I was a freelance BBC presenter I was told I should not criticise the Royal Society when I wrote in support of Professor Dorothy Bishop’s resignation. I’m not now , so I can say that I think the society’s position on Elon Musk is troubling and wrong. Also, I’m not sure how many other fellows are there primarily because they are businessmen rather than scientists. #elonmusk #science #space #physics

Just one final thing - someone filmed some of my departure speech after Monkey Cage last night (I should make it clear no one knew I was going to do it) and it has been put up here - i cannot deny i was very emotional #science #comedy

Looking forward to when Farage is caught out and issues a statement saying he has no memory of meeting himself -“I go to a lot of events where I may have been but I have no memory of meeting me at any point”
