#Gaza: "Our thoughts are with the families of the victims of this latest attack. Yet again we find ourselves calling for an investigation into the action of the Israeli forces.” @IFJGlobal #pressfreedom nuj.org.uk/resource/palestin…

MPs object to Observer transfer. At the time of writing 18 MPs had signed. Please check whether your MP is among them; congratulate them if so; and encourage them to join if not. 🙏

NEW: The Tortoise-Observer deal has been formally signed, with Lucy Rock named print editor and a voluntary redundancy scheme for staff who don't want to move over opening today
Guardian NUJ retweeted
So Tortoise now owns the Observer. For the sake of all involved let’s hope it works. If James Harding’s figures are to be believed the Scott Trust has just enabled and funded a potentially powerful competitor to the Guardian in the liberal media space. Strange times

Guardian publishes letters from current and former staff contradicting Scott Trust claims it consulted over Observer sale. Those speaking out include @carolecadwalla @pollytoynbee @shattenstone pressgazette.co.uk/publisher…

Looks like Guardian readers are concerned about the Observer being bundled out of the door by the Scott Trust too

One journalist accused the Guardian leadership team of “riding roughshod over the Scott Trust values of integrity and honesty”.
Another said: “You want The Observer behind a paywall so that it is not a rival to The Guardian.” pressgazette.co.uk/news/scot…

Update: Around 100 Guardian and Observer journalists, and several hundred more joining online, attended a meeting of the joint @NUJofficial chapel this afternoon and agreed to press on with a second 48-hour strike scheduled for next week. pressgazette.co.uk/news/scot…

Statement on decision by The Scott Trust and GMG boards to approve the sale in principle of the Observer to Tortoise Media: NUJ general secretary-elect Laura Davison said: “Members at the Guardian and Observer will be angry and extremely disappointed that The Scott Trust and GMG boards have chosen to approve the deal in principle to sell The Observer to Tortoise Media despite the Union’s call for more time to consider this and other options.
“The timing of the decision, before the end of two extremely well-supported days of action, is particularly shabby. The NUJ chapel will be meeting later today to consider their response.”
She added: “Over the last two days members have done an incredible job of highlighting their concerns about the future of the titles, many taking strike action for the first time….

Impact of strike by Guardian & Observer journalists apparent on second day of action. Picketing continued with support from leading figures incl Jemma Redgrave. Well done to all involved, especially the indefatigable & brilliant @gonuj93 nuj.org.uk/resource/impact-o…

Good to @Torcuil arrive at the @gonuj93 picket earlier today. He treated colleagues to a few words in Gaelic. I thought @shattenstone (in the hat, megaphone in hand) might retaliate with some Yiddish, but no @NUJofficial.

Thank you to everyone who supported Guardian & Observer journalists on the picket line today. Day 2 on the picket line tomorrow. #SaveTheObserver #KeepTheFreePressFree

The @guardian journos are on strike tomorrow after the bosses plan to sell the world’s oldest surviving Sunday newspaper @ObserverUK . Protected by the Scott Trust’s huge £1.3bn endowment fund they could easily protect and treasure the Observer but are choosing not to. Why ?
