While most other outlets have filed a few words on it, we’ve yet to see the Evening Standard write up a story on George Osborne getting engaged to his pregnant partner, Thea Rogers. Strange. You’d think, as its former editor, the Standard would be more interested in it than most.
Why no story? On the day it was announced that Emily Sheffield would be taking over from George as editor, the pair seemed close. In fact, as those who had the misfortune to see them grinding up on each other to Madonna’s Into The Groove at Chiltern Firehouse that night, they were practically welded at the hips.
Who knows? Maybe Emily simply couldn’t spare the space to congratulate the happy couple. After all, it was a busy news day. They only just managed to squeeze a story about the financial woes of Deliveroo on to the front page. A company whose Chief Customer Officer just so happens to be… Thea Rogers! |
