Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org?
This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster..

We, the journalists of @ObserverUK believe the UK desperately needs more not less media plurality. And that this deal risks the title's future & editorial independence.
And we also believe a better future is possible. Let us, the journalists - with readers' input - independently research & present an investment case & business model to Scott Trust.
Hope is power. 🙏

BREAKING: Mitt Romney just announced that he will not vote for Donald Trump. Romney makes it abundantly clear Americans should not vote for a convicted sexual abuser. Retweet so all Americans see this.
This woman's righteous indignation over the loathsome piece of shit is spot-fucking-on. We cannot let Trump back into the White House. WE. CAN'T. 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙏👏🌊🇺🇸
I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS.
Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it.
We shouldn't give in to racism.
Our right to protest is under attack. A judge has used repressive Tory anti-protest legislation to sentence peaceful protesters to YEARS in prison. Tell the new government to scrap this anti-democratic law and #StopJailingTruthTellers now! https://t.co/CGUJzv91ig
The most meaningful picture from a member of the public in #Southport today.

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.
