[The Observer @ObserverUK]

On 4 December 1791, The Observer published its first newspaper. Our journey continues 234 years later with the launch of our digital edition. Last week we transformed the oldest Sunday newspaper in the UK into a seven-day operation across our website, app, and print, giving readers a little bit of Sunday every day of the week.

We have only been able to do this with the support of our current subscribers, so thank you for being part of this incredible and ongoing history.

For those yet to join us: the new Observer is here. Our award-winning journalism, podcasts, Nigel Slater recipes, puzzles (from the paper that invented the cryptic crossword) and much more are now available daily on our app and website.

I’ve written this essay for The Observer on Keir Starmer’s first year as PM, the very private side to him that you don’t often see in public, and how he has learnt from the mistakes he has made. https://t.co/7d1EXElFy8

Fantastic achievement through the hard work of the @EveningStandard team

[The Standard @theLDNstandard]

We're very happy to say the Evening Standard is the fastest-growing quality newspaper brand in the UK according to the latest PAMCO analysis.

Not only did the Standard see the highest growth of all quality newspaper brands, we also had the second highest growth in monthly reach of all UK newspaper brands.

A huge thank you to all our readers!
