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

From @thetimes (£) "Tortoise is a thinly capitalised vanity project in search of a commercial model. Buying The Observer will give it a reason to tap backers for millions more... The Guardian is paying too much for a stake that isn’t big enough..." thetimes.com/article/guardia…

What The Guardian and Sir Philip Green have in common

By failing to rid itself entirely of The Observer, the Scott Trust stays exposed to the Sunday paper’s woes — and takes on Tortoise’s as well
