“BBC is taking around 270 staff to the World Cup, many of whom are expected to stay in a five-star hotel, and 17 commentators.
It has estimated it will spend around £11,000 per worker, which means staff will cost around £3m, plus £1m for the glass studio”

BBC, damned if it does Dallas, damned if it doesn’t.
Brits can make their own minds up on the merits of football staying home or not, but I like Gabby Logan’s take that Salford is a nice “hybrid solution”. Salford council should put that on a huge sign.

A few years ago David Hockney told us he loved The Sun. So we asked him if he fancied redesigning our logo for a special one off paper.
He said he did….

This view from the top puts into perspective how the odds are stacked against people who don’t go to Oxford or Cambridge to get on to newspapers like the @FT - but at least they’re honest
