Last week, the new owners of the Observer wrote to tell me they would *not* be issuing me with a new contract. 🤷♀️
So...I want to say publicly that it was an absolute privilege to speak on behalf of my Observer colleagues during our strike. I don't regret doing so. And I learned so much from it.

IF we all pledge at least £5 a month through paid subscription to her Substack, we will be supporting journalism (and the journalist) we can trust.
This is the time to support specific journalists rather than media.
Keep going Carole 👊
An investigation into Scott Trust chair Ole Jacob Sunde is probably in order.
Total arsehole who told staff:

I'm sure that I'm not the only person who now cancels a subscription.
Many people admire you, not only for your work, but also for your courage throughout the court battle with Banks.
Good luck with your exciting new projects.
I won't be buying or reading the Observer again.
If I win the lottery, you’re getting some.
It leads to the question - if I stop supporting the Guardian who do I go to for news. Byline seems one
I’ve followed your work for a long time - I read this piece way back when https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/07/the-great-british-brexit-robbery-hijacked-democracy

You are, always have been, and always will be, an absolute legend on behalf of those who don’t have a voice that will question authority & corruption. ❤️

Best of luck to you and please carry on. In my opinion you've been the most important journalist of the last decade with the stories you've been bringing to the open.
It's a shameless other outlets aren't following on it, for reasons.

Anyway keep on investigating and writing. I know it's been a tough journey. But there are so many of us who admire you and support you. Thank you for your bravery and resilience.
I hope you make a success of your next venture.
You're an inspiration to many
