This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media.

This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign.

Meet the team.

This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017.

@carolecadwalla Ahh, I see he moved to the FT last month. Relieved to see he has kept his integrity; presumably he got wind of this deal and made a tough decision. https://t.co/mNWWadHWib

@carolecadwalla A major reason for me initially holding Tortoise in high esteem was their strong association with Paul Caruana Galizia. As far as you know have they now parted ways? Neither seems to reference the other anymore; odd/sad given his involvement was crucial to their early credibility

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

The Guardian is pushing ahead with its 'sale' of the Observer. But the journalism continues... If you value the Guardian or Observer, I urge you to read this.
It's my attempt to investigate 'the money behind the money'.
Who is 'buying' us? And why?

The avg rent in Bristol is now a staggering £1748. Tenants are handing over a growing slice of their pay packet every month to keep a roof over their heads - often in poor quality & insecure homes. Renters Rights Bill must include rent controls to stop tenants being ripped off.

@DJSnudge @cauterize1750 @retailgail @2SevernBridges A temporary height-restricting bar that gets lowered would be the solution. They exist everywhere and are inexpensive. And impossible to abuse or argue with 😄

I spent the past few months working on an essay for @nplusonemag about the rise and fall of Gimlet Media https://t.co/Y1mDhNtpdd

@stephenWalt @medialens Matthew Miller’s words sound less like a plea for a ceasefire than a call to assassinate journalists

If Nick Drake was alive and smoking today, I wonder if this would’ve affected his album…

@BristolFilmCity @WildscreenFest How do you get tickets tho? I tried here: https://t.co/jpCi8kZ3VT

Seems impossible for anyone without an industry pass to get in, let alone find out what films are showing and where 🧐 Lots of people I know saying they’d love to come but can’t figure out how. Advice welcome 🙏

@DanicaPriest By the seventh time he used it, the word had lost all meaning and it was just a sound #ackshully

[Al Jazeera Investigations @AJIunit]

We've built a database of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible we’ve identified those who appear.

It reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to demolitions of neighbourhoods and murder. #GazaCrimes

@DrMatthewSweet SOLD!

[David Taylor @pipsjukebox]

@ThangamDebb @TimesRadio Was going to ask if it was a deliberate choice to not mention the deaths in Gaza or just an oversight due to live radio. Seemed odd given your experience. Was hoping you might acknowledge the error afterwards. Just seen the Times headline tho, makes their editorial position clear
