Attention all journalists reporting on the ‘sale’ of the Observer to Tortoise. This ‘signed’ deal is a non-binding agreement in principle not an executed contract.

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

Ahhh, an astonishingly good pub. And another that proves that all the best pubs are on the corners in residential areas. Sigh.

There’s nobody in journalism whose integrity and judgment I value more than that of Paul Webster, who retired last week as editor of the Observer. If you’ve valued Observer journalism in recent years please read his X thread about the Scott Trust’s potential sale of the Observer.
