The Observer

A Sunday paper with a long liberal tradition, now under new ownership. For decades The Observer was the Guardian's Sunday sister, but it was sold to the start-up Tortoise Media, which took over in 2025, and the Scott Trust kept a minority stake. Its politics have not changed much: it backed Labour in 2024, calling the chance to remove the Conservative government historic. Read it for long weekend features, reviews and investigations rather than breaking news.
