- Tortoise Purchase of The Observer – With ex-Guardian Journalist James BallJames Ball, The New European's political editor and a former Guardian staffer, joins the show to discuss the potential sale of the Observer to Tortoise. The deal has caused widespread upset in the Guardian News and Media newsrooms, with staff at both the Guardian and Observer voting to strike and show they have no confidence in owner The Scott Trust. Editor Kath Viner sits on the board of the Scott Trust, meaning her newsroom has now effectively shown it has no confidence in her.
