Nick Clegg is not just across THREE pages in the first edition of the new Observer, he’s actually cited in the leader: that’s the voice of the newspaper that exemplifies and articulates its values & principles.

Values that include shilling for big tech & not caring where the money comes from?

I flicked through it. It's like the genocide in Gaza ain't happening...

Oh really. I wonder who else has had their FB hacked over the years.

The relatives of ppl a certain dictator has a grudge against, perchance?

Has anybody opened a book yet on who Clegg will be breaking taboos for next?

I hear Tesla is looking...

Who is “We”? Not the @libdems.org.uk I hope.

Nick Clegg leading the downfall of a newspaper in the same way he led the downfall of the LibDems when he sold them out to a Tory Party who was hell bent on destroying the values of a country with their austerity agenda.

Deleted Facebook 6 years ago, twitter 2 years ago, how long left for Bluesky?

Oh boy, oh boy.

Peter, the taboo they are breaking is the hiring of such a pariah. Nobody else would dare to do such a thing.

Very interesting interview of him a few months ago by Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart. Clegg came across as smug entitled and in denial about the damage Facebook has done.

Doesn't look like I'll be buying the Observer any time soon.

As crude as its backers.

The secretive backer of the Tortoise media, obviously has an agenda (understatement of the year btw!)

Wasn’t Nick Clegg working at Facebook when it was facilitating the Rohingya genocide ?
