Could Sarah Sands be heading upstairs at Derry Street to join Geordie Grieg instead of taking over at the London Evening Standard? The Mail on Sunday newsroom is convulsed with speculation that newly appointed editor Geordie wants to bring Sarah, his deputy on the Standard and acting editor after he departs at the end of the month, with him to the Mail on Sunday as his number two. Monkey, setting down his banana immediately, makes some urgent inquiries. The word is there is something in the rumour: Sands has been tapped up by Geordie, but she doesn't appear to have made up her mind. There is "a tug of love" going on, says somebody who ought to know, although who is to know whether this is a negotiating tactic or a genuine statement of confused intent. We'll find out soon enough.
