American democracy is on the brink. Masked agents menace the streets of Minneapolis. Donald Trump jokes about cancelling elections. And traditional allies like Canada and the UK are beginning to look for alliances that could replace their pivotal relationships with the US.
According to Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Communications Director turned outspoken Trump critic and host of The Rest Is Politics: US, President Trump represents one of the most serious challenges the country has faced.
This autumn, on the eve of the pivotal US midterm elections, Scaramucci comes to live audiences across the UK to offer an insider’s account of how America reached this moment and to offer a hopeful message for how it might find a way back.
Drawing on his forthcoming book All The Wrong Moves, he will trace a series of catastrophic decisions made by both Democrats and Republicans that, in Scaramucci’s view, dismantled decades of postwar stability and prosperity. And he will describe how undoing these mistakes can unlock a new era of success for America and the world.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see Anthony Scaramucci – hilarious, irreverent, insightful and deeply sourced within both the Republican and Democratic parties – live in-conversation with Matt Forde (Spitting Image, Have I Got News For You). Plus ask your own questions in the audience Q&A.
Anthony Scaramucci is host of the hit podcast The Rest is Politics: US and founder of SkyBridge Capital. He served as the White House Director of Communications in 2017 for an infamous 11 days. His forthcoming book is All The Wrong Moves – an explosive insider story of some of the biggest mistakes in American political history.
