A lot of attention on some names going it alone - & good luck to them. But the number that will work for is very small, esp in the UK. For journalism to thrive, it needs newsrooms & scale. Models are being sorely tested, but in 10 years, many news orgs will adapt and survive.

To everyone affected by today’s Telegraph cuts, I have great sympathy, losing a job on a Friday must feel a double whammy. There’s understandably been lots of discussion about high-profile journalists like Amol Rajan and Marina Hyde building their own media businesses. /1

This comparison with Salman Rushdie is pure luxury dilettantism. You can disagree with the politics that led to Rooney's books being withdrawn, but no one is threatening to kill her. Rushdie OTOH is under constant threat from Islamists, which is the opposite to Rooney's situation

If you ever sought out the novels of Sally Rooney in bookshops – when that was still possible – you’d know they sit in the fiction stacks adjacent to the novels of another SR whose books have been withdrawn in dastardly political circumstances. Until last week, “Rooney” and “Rushdie” had little in common beyond being shelfmates; now they have more than just a physical proximity. @tanjil_rashid_: This is censorship by other means newstatesman.com/comment/202…

This is censorship by other means

The Sally Rooney affair shows how laws meant to target terrorism now suppress the freedom to dissent

Villa are actually the ultimate legacy club. They started it all. He’s not going to a dysfunctional outfit that’s on the wane - even if they do sell more shirts at airports.

My opinion on @UnaiEmery_ and Manchester United Unai (more than capable to manage Manchester United) is where he wants to be, where he feels appreciated, and looked after. He is very ambitious and his ambition right now is to use the responsability he has been given by Villa's owners to take the team as far as he can As explained in the video 🤗
