So, Lebedev's bid to take over our sister paper looks to have succeeded. Can't say I'm too bothered either way, except for the inevitable job cuts. He can't make the Standard any worse and I doubt he'll make it much better.

Are they getting rid of that awful editor?

I suspect so - supposedly the Tatler editor is being tapped.

Won't that mean more witless upper-crust celebrity filler? Still, if it means do svidanya to their Bottomham Hotspur obsession, there's some consolation.
