The Observer announced another share issue today for an additional £10m funding as print circulation drops from 114k to 90k. It’s notable that in the same time period I have built a circulation of 124k for my personal Substack..having set it up amid fears I would lose my job (as I in fact did).

Because Israel has damaged/destroyed over 90% of all buildings in Gaza people are forced to take shelter in unsafe buildings. One of those buildings has collapsed, killing at least 10 people. Others, including children, are trapped under the rubble.
