I guess that's gonna be the end of The Observer, a paper I've been reading for 58 years.

I would hope the NUJ is doing a lot more that just being seriously concerned. We are all seriously concerned that investigative journalism is being neutralised when we need to be holding the government etc. to account.

The sale of the Observer to Tortoise has been deeply unpopular. Firing an award winning journo does nothing to alleviate that.

Especially at the very moment her warnings about the scale & effectiveness of Russian influence operations, disinformation campaigns & alignment with the Western far right have been starkly vindicated, after years of lawfare & hateful trolling for daring to raise the issue.
