Charlie Nunn needs to look at the Facebook group "Scottish Widows Complaint Platform." The company that he runs is an absolute disgrace.

Seriously - this is your article rather than an interview with Michael Foran, David Green, Helen Joyce, @mayaforstater.bsky.social, JK Rowling or numerous others? No balance?

Superb analysis - thank you

The best explanation is perhaps not that the prince and Watson had finally buckled to costs risk; it instead looks like a desperate last-minute move by a publisher anxious to avoid a public trial of the claims. It appears from the evidence available that NGN signalled that it would actually accept liability. If so, this would change everything. If NGN accepted it was liable for at least the main part of the claims, there would be no need for a full trial—for there would be nothing to be tried. The prince and the politician would not now be able to force a full trial even if they had wanted to do. For a defendant to admit liability is an unusual, if not unique litigation ploy.

As if we needed any more evidence of Pearson’s grimness. She would rather those families had to endure a horrific trial so she could have some more conspiracy nonsense to spout. It is beggars belief that she is employed as a ‘journalist.’

Living with Huntington’s disease: ‘For our family, the end of days is always close at hand’ Fifteen years ago, writer Charlotte Raven was diagnosed with the incurable neurodegenerative disease – what did it do to her family and her marriage?

Very sad to see Charlotte Raven has died: Huntingdon's is a shitty disease. This piece of hers from a couple of years ago really captures what an unfair hand it is to be dealt, and how hard it is on everyone. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists.
If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.
