It’s all kicking off between Tim Walker of the Telegraph’s Mandrake diary and Sarah Sands, Standard editor, over the Charles Saatchi / Nigella Lawson assault or gentle tiff, depending on your viewpoint.
Should be noted that Saatchi is an occasional Standard columnist.
Never has man got such great PR from assaulting his wife. For the 3rd day running, Standard runs another pro-#saatchi piece @sandsstandard

Sure, you are leading the coverage, as #saatchi's mouthpiece. Interesting, too, that you allow him to speak for her @sandsstandard

"@mrevgenylebedev Incidentally, did you by any chance have dinner last night at 34 in Mayfair with Charles #saatchi ? @sandsstandard

And in joins Louise Mensch:
A female editor of a major British paper, @sandsstandard, owned by Independent group, has just said admitted assault is business of couple

I would love @sandsstandard to explain why admitted assault is only #domesticviolence if the victim complains #Saatchi #Nigella

Interesting that Walker’s dinner question went unanswered…
