It's called Welcome to the Woke Trials and was due to be published in 2021.
I'm not sure who the publisher is; I'll update.
She says: "Reason was 'hate speech' to Ash Sarkar and 'crossing a line' - 'There was also a concern that the line might be crossed again during the promotion of the book.' I'LL SAY!"

In short, a book about cancel culture has been cancelled. Oh, the irony!

The Ash Sarkar thing was trending yesterday. Ash criticised a male journalist for making ?a joke? about fancying school girls. Not sure what this had to do with Julie other than being published in the same places.

But JB replied to Ash referring to Mohammed.

This was widely considered as JB trying to get publicity for the new book.
