Signal is, for most of us, a perfectly secure messaging app. It is though not the tool senior government figures should use to plan imminent military action on their mobile phones. And they certainly should not add a journalist to the chat if they do so. Sometimes, the best scoops just pop up in your lap. That’s exactly what happened to The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. James Ball, author and political editor of The New European, joins host Charlotte Henry to discuss The Atlantic getting hold of

James Ball, The New European's political editor and a former Guardian staffer, joins the show to discuss the potential sale of the Observer to Tortoise. The deal has caused widespread upset in the Guardian News and Media newsrooms, with staff at both the Guardian and Observer voting to strike and show they have no confidence in owner The Scott Trust.
