So The Telegraph is forking out £4,000 for a farewell party for Alice Thomson, who is soon going to work for James Harding at The Times, and ‘quite a lot of nobs are being invited”.
Could one reason being mentioned for the party (at Home House in Portman Square) be that editor Will Lewis has an eye on a job at The Times should he ever be shown the door by the Barclay Brothers?
Ironically, says my mole at The Telegraph, there were no goodbyes or drinks of any sort for two other talented women journos who left recently, Rachel Sylvester (for The Times) and Jan Moir (for the Daily Mail).
