I feel sympathy with the Guardian journalists likely to lose their jobs, because it will almost certainly be the better ones. The overpaid, past-their-sell-by-date columnists will be the penultimate area where savings are sought, just before executive salaries.
But the Guardian as an institution can& #39;t reasonably expect donations from people like me after the way it conducted itself towards the Labour left over the past five years, or when it continues to be controlled by a trust which is totally unaccountable to its readers.
Once more on the Guardian job losses:
- it& #39;s not something to gloat over
- it won& #39;t make the Guardian a better paper
- it& #39;s more likely good journalists, not the columnists you hate, will get made redundant.
But I won& #39;t donate until there& #39;s a big change of direction.

But I won& #39;t donate until there& #39;s a big change of direction.
Especially when there& #39;s more reliably socialist media to make a donation to. With more resources, they could - and hopefully will - expand into doing investigative journalism, on-the-ground reports, exposures. Or even just report the same events but from trustworthy perspectives.
For example: yes it would be quite good to know what& #39;s going on at the top of the labour movement& #39;s institutions, without having to work out which bits of Sunday Times or Observer articles can be credited with any truth.
