THE Financial Times already has one of the smallest online audiences of any British news publication, ranking 39th in the UK behind Bristol Live, LADbible and Hello! Magazine, according to Press Gazette. To add to this embarrassment, it now looks set to fall behind its much younger rival CityAM in print circulation. City AM is currently London's smallest paper by circulation, but Spy hears on the grapevine the paper is set to use its new THG cash to ramp up its print run, meaning it could be poised to overtake the FT as soon as this year.

NONETHELESS, this paper is more happy to give credit where it's due and we applaud the Mayor's promise to provide free school meals to all primary school pupils if he wins another term — and his Tory rival, Susan Hall, has promised to do so as long as the cost-of-living crisis continues.

IT'S fair to say that Liz Truss's new book has not been critically acclaimed, with The Times judging it to be as readable as the back of a crisp packet and other papers calling it "ludicrous" and "shamelessly unrepentant". Yet the 49-day PM is enjoying some success where it really matters: sales. The book is currently at number 11 on Amazon's bestseller list and within 72 hours of release, stock ran out. That is partly because of the small print run, just a few thousand copies — but we can hear the presses rolling again. Is Truss's success in spite of all the mockery (Brits do love an underdog) or because of it? Probably the latter. But even if Ten Years To Save The West becomes the "ironic read" of the spring, a bestseller is a bestseller! [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

PITY restaurant reviewer Giles Coren, who was stuck on a train recently reading the Guardian after his paper, The Times, had sold out at the King's Cross WH Smith. "Is this rubbish?" asked the cleaner as she went by. "From start to finish," he replied, handing it over, "but it was all they had in Smith's." Touché. It can't be the first time she has heard that one. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

YINKA SHONIBARE does not want statues knocked over in the same way that he would not step into a library and begin burning books he did not like. But from the Benin Bronzes to climate change, the British-Nigerian artist, perhaps best known for his Nelson's Ship in a Bottle, does not hold back in an interview in today's paper. The stunning image which adorns today's front cover has been designed exclusively by Shonibare to mark his upcoming show at the Serpentine Gallery from April 12. Check it out.

"UNSALVAGEABLE", "dismally muddled", "buttockclenchingly pretentious" — it is fair to say that the Standard's chief theatre critic, Nick Curtis, did not enjoy his evening at the Gielgud Theatre to see Opening Night. For balance, today's paper also has words from the show's star, Sheridan Smith. One star being the operative phrase. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

WITH little more than six weeks until the mayoral election, the Standard has launched a series of audits highlighting the performance of Sadiq Khan, running for an unprecedented third term in City Hall.

THE Brits are back. The UK's biggest night in music returns to the O2 Arena for an evening of celebration, glamour and, hopefully, a light dusting of drama. Today's paper runs the gamut on who we think will win versus who should win. Invariably, that leads to divergent answers. There might even be a female winner of artist of the year, after 2023's embarrassingly male-dominated field. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A BRITISH Airways pilot mistakenly activated the emergency slide at Heathrow Airport seconds before take-off.

THE term Blue Monday is hardly scientific, in that it was originally promoted by a travel company looking to sell more holidays. Still, if you got on the Tube or bus this morning and couldn't feel your fingers, there is plenty of travel inspiration in today's paper. And if your post-Christmas current account can't yet stretch to somewhere warm, look up to the heavens where the sky has been a gloriously bright blue for much of the day. May there be many more Blue Mondays this year. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

SOME claim that City drinking culture is dead and buried — in reality it's just gone underground. London's deepest licensed bar is on its way to Holborn, as part of the reopening of the tunnels known as the Kingsway Exchange. Built as air raid shelters in 1940, the tunnels were later used by MI6 and the Public Records Office to store secret papers, and for the Cold War era telephone exchange. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
