Some personal news: meet my new replacement at the all new Observer newspaper.
Yes, it’s Facebook’s very own Nick Clegg. Congrats to everyone involved in this absolutely stellar signing. Take a bow.

RIP, the Guardian-Observer 1993-2025. It wasn't a natural death.
The biggest journalistic bloodletting in a generation.
Rest in power ✊

Apr 27, 2025 16:11Nick Clegg is not just across THREE pages in the first edition of the new Observer, he’s actually cited in the leader: that’s the voice of the newspaper that exemplifies and articulates its values & principles.
Values that include shilling for big tech & not caring where the money comes from?
An April Fool's joke would be milder than this.
Just to clarify that the Guardian is not affected or have I got that wrong?
I remember joking ages ago that 'I walked past Waterstones & it had Nick Cleggs autobiography in the window, with Sold Out written underneath. I walked in to ask when the book was back in stock, to be told, 'No, that's the title!'
Omg! It's insane isn't? Knowing what you know a/b these guys! & watching them rise through the ranks gaining more power! Getting richer & richer! I've been trying to do a book to get all the dirty details of Robert Mercer & James Simons & the Medallion Fund & how they really dev AI but I'm failing!
From Hans W Vogel of N Tustin & Reagan & Pondexter & Rorabacher to UCSD & Robert Mercer & James Simons & Churchland & Hinton & Sejnowski & Sutskever to DC to London & SCL & UCL to Marcel de Jong & Thiel & Karp & Lassiter & Gnoman & TRI ALPHA ENERGY & Monsters INC & Musk & Andreessen & all of it!
This says a lot about the new Obsever.
To lose a real investigative journalist who's taken on the rich and powerful, like Carole has done, to employing Clegg who sold his principles to be in the austerity coalition with the Tories and than to be a face for Facebook & earning millions.
For what it’s worth: your journalism helped make me see the way the world really worked 🥲
Respect 👊x
No way the likes of Clegg could replace you, Carole.
