Observations

The Observer seems to have made £3.4 million last year. Not very much, but still enough to make it odd that the Scott Trust might be preparing to pay the lossmaking Tortoise Media to take it away.

Still, it is clear from today's edition that Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are just super, so on what grounds might anyone object to the title's acquisition by the decidedly non-lossmaking BlackRock?

A published plagiarist who has been found to have faked her CV, Reeves would by now have been sacked from any of the jobs into which Starmer and Liz Kendall proposed to beat the workshy dogs.

And observing that whole scene, what ought to be the tax on inheriting one's position as a Labour politician, or as a liberal media person, or both? Unlike inheriting a farm, while such good fortune does make one asset rich, it certainly does not make one cash poor.
