On strike with Guardian colleagues today opposing the Observer sale. I’m not on the picket line because I’m in Liverpool to take my mother to watch Everton The message on my Guardian football shirt applies to the Observer, not #EFC, who are very much for sale Just to be clear

Joe Lycett, comedian, says: “This deal is baffling to me; I fully support the striking journalists against this opaque, rushed and frankly bizarre attempt to sell off the Observer.” #savetheobserver 🙏🏻

Appalling decision. The Scott Trust should hangs its head in shame. A total betrayal of journalists at the Observer/Guardian and their wages/conditions - amp.theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi… The Guardian and Observer NUJ NUJ Carole Cadwalladr Simon Hattenstone

Scott Trust and Guardian management face staff fury over Observer sale. One speaker said today the process was “damaging for the reputation of The Guardian, you should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves” – to which there was applause and cheering. pressgazette.co.uk/news/scott-tru…

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/scott-tru…

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