In July 2020, after major cutbacks were proposed by the Guardian Media Group, a false story appeared on Twitter and other online media outlets purporting to announce that Steve Bell had been sacked and that this was unrelated to any such cutbacks. The original story was potentially malicious and lacked confirmation from either The Guardian or Steve Bell himself. Since the negotiations regarding the future of the paper and its workforce are still ongoing, and subject to agreement with the NUJ (National Union of Journalists) Chapel at the Guardian, no contributor or member of staff can as yet be entirely certain of their position there. Steve Bell has been an NUJ member since 1978.
