It made the New York Times bestseller list in its first week. The Times called it "impeccably timed" and USA Today a "must-read". Riz Ahmed calls it a "masterclass" and Naomi Klein "indispensable."

In #WinEveryArgument, I say that you need to know the other side of the argument as well as your own. In London, in front of 350 people, @Freedland put me on the spot & got me to make the case for Trump, for US intervention in the MidEast, for suspending Lineker. So I did🤦🏽‍♂️

Here is me at @intelligence2 in London, without any heads-up or warning, being challenged to make the case for a *Trump second term* in less than 60 seconds.

TO BE CLEAR: I DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SAYING. It's a game, an exercise, a challenge (!)

Loads of rightwing and centrist non-scientist dudes on this site have now convinced themselves that the lab leak theory wasn’t just ‘suppressed’ but is also ‘the most likely factual explanation of the origin’ of Covid - when most scientists don’t think that’s the case at all! 🤦🏽‍♂️

The simple reason why so many people weren’t keen to discuss the ‘lab leak’ *theory* is because it was originally conflated by the right with ‘Chinese bio weapon’ conspiracies and continues to be conflated by the right with anti-Fauci conspiracies. Blame the conspiracy theorists.
It’s hard to have a good faith disagreement about a major issue if the issue itself has been hijacked by bad faith folks.
Incidentally, some of us did try and host good faith debates on the ‘lab leak’ theory, even back in 2021:

“I won’t say Fox ‘News’ because why should I play along with this conceit? It is not a news channel. It is a propaganda arm of the Republican party. It is a booster of white supremacy."

My interview with the @guardian to promote my new book. Quotes 🧵

 theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
"If you want to understand why... democracy is under threat, the Fox narrative is part of that story. You can’t turn your eyes away from it because they’re fellow media organisations. They’ve been coddled for far too long by the rest of the media." - me

"The biggest cancel culture brigade in this country is the modern American right. They’re the ones banning books. They’re the ones preventing the teaching of history. They’re the ones purging the Republican party of any kind of moderates."
