  Observer | Can Ken go the distance against the Standard?
Wadley, fresh from relentlessly pursuing Tony Blair for his part in the Black Rod affair, was on the verge of bagging a trophy scalp.
Wadley, it is understood, said she would get back to Livingstone in a few weeks.
Wadley was repeatedly asked to respond to accusations that the Standard has been over-obsessive in its reporting of Scufflegate and that she has never met Livingstone.

 Society | How newts and the loony left became Standard issue
The promotion of Wadley to the editor's chair in 2002 from the Daily Mail, where she had been deputy editor, provoked unease in the mayor's office and these fears were heightened when Livingstone wrote to her offering lunch but received no reply.
A few weeks into Wadley's editorship, the paper accused Livingstone of a drunken attack during a late-night party on his partner, who had been the office manager at ES Magazine, and her friend, a designer on the same publication.
Wadley, viewed as an acolyte of Dacre, was always likely to be damned by association.

 Guardian | Wadley lashes Livingstone over 'best friend' Desmond
Veronica Wadley, editor of the London Evening Standard, has reignited a long-running feud with the London mayor in an extraordinary attack on Ken Livingstone and his "new best friend", rival newspaper publisher Richard Desmond.
Ms Wadley, who rarely comments publicly, accuses the mayor of wasting money on the Londoner, a taxpayer-funded monthly publication printed by Mr Desmond, which she calls "Ken's Pravda".
In a 2,000 word statement read to Greater London Assembly members, the mayor defended his role in a late-night incident at a drunken party, where the Standard accused him of manhandling his pregnant girlfriend and inadvertently causing a Standard employee to be knocked unconscious after a nasty fall.

 Observer | Evenings in the twilight
This is the Wadley who helped Max Hastings save the Telegraph and then stood at Paul Dacre's right hand as his Mail surged on.
If the Standard is, in fact, an evening like any other, prey to the vicissitudes that blight evening papers right around Britain, Wadley's detractors have much less of a case for their grumblings.
It would be fairer to Veronica Wadley to factor in all these depredations.

 Londonist: Wadley Livingstone Slagging Match
Veronica Wadley, editor of the Evening Standard, has "lashed out" out at Mayor Ken through her diary column in the Spectator (you'll need to be a subscriber to read it though).
According to the Guardian, Wadley's Spectator Column concentrates its wrath on the Londoner newspaper, which is taxpayer-funded and printed by the Standard's arch-nemesis, Richard Desmond:
He is a lunatic who is posing as mayor, so i am glad that London's most important newspaper is not on his side, and is not being used to distrubute his propaganda.

Friends say that military levels of organisation and efficiency (her father was a soldier) overcome the domestic problems caused by long hours in the office.
The Wadley day often starts at 5.30am, and time with the children is said to be rationed equally.
Interestingly, rumours that Wadley will instigate a major shake-up have found support within the Standard, where many feel that the paper is drifting and too full of dull or slightly tacky features (yesterday's edition included one on vagina reshaping).

 Politics | 'There was no ES vendetta against Ken'
They say his attack on the Standard's editor, Veronica Wadley - who he branded "reckless" and a "disgrace" - bears no relation to the truth.
Insiders point out that Wadley was happy to publish "a positive" piece about the mayor's impending fatherhood just 24 hours before the bombshell allegations about the party.
The mayor told the assembly today that he had measured it himself and it found it to be only 10ft high.

The Evening Standard has a new look, achieved after three years of pressure by editor Veronica Wadley to persuade Associated Newspapers to release the paper from its design straitjacket and give her more space.
This week, with business news returned to the run of the paper after its sojourn as a pink paper section, she has been given more resources and infinitely more space to allow her to employ 20 big-name new columnists, all with tried and tested reader appeal.
Wadley made most of her new signings in July before her summer holiday.

Ms Wadley acknowledged staff on the evening paper were worried about the new edition, which many media experts believe will deter existing Standard readers from paying for the evening title.
Ms Wadley said it was too soon to know what effect Lite`s launch has had on sales, although this is expected to be discussed at a board meeting today.
Ms Wadley insisted she was 100% behind the launch and denied industry speculation that it had been imposed upon her by the marketing and advertising departments, which have been struggling with the Evening Standard`s falling circulation.

 Guardian | Ken and Veronica bury the hatchet
Editor Veronica Wadley took the decision today to end the paper's long-running feud with Mr Livingstone and raise money for all those affected by the tragedy, which has already claimed at least 50 lives.
Sources on the paper said Ms Wadley saw this as the moment to unite after a series of bitter rows with Mr Livingstone, which culminated in a huge public bust-up earlier this year when the London mayor compared a Jewish reporter to a concentration camp guard.
Mr Livingstone's refusal to apologise for his comment, to reporter Oliver Finegold, sparked a full-scale campaign against the mayor in the Standard, which accused him of "contempt for some of the key institutions that sustain London's democracy".

Complaining he was the victim of a smear campaign by the London Evening Standard, the mayor said he had caught a tube on Tuesday to Tufnell Park to measure the basement himself and found Mr Hedges had fallen 10ft rather than the 12 or 15ft claimed by the paper.
He accused the Associated Newspapers title, which first published lurid allegations of the fateful party, of getting its facts wrong and acting like a "hyena" under its new editor, Veronica Wadley.
Arguing that it should never abuse its ability to end the careers of politicians such as himself, he said: "I believe Veronica Wadley was reckless with the facts and malicious with that power."

Next year's election for London Mayor may be about to get interesting, if this report for the Observer's Pendennis column proves accurate:It would have been unthinkable a couple of years ago but top sources at Northcliffe House say the London Evening Standard will back the Lib Dem Simon Hughes in next year's London mayoral contest.
The volte-face for the avowedly Tory/Ken-hating paper comes after what Northcliffe sources say was a 'friendly and very productive' meeting between Hughes, Viscount Rothermere and the paper's editor, Veronica Wadley.
Apparently, the Tories' candidate, the love-god who is Stephen Norris, no longer cuts the mustard at the Standard - leaving the way open for Hughes who will be pro lots of things and anti-nothing.

He had argued they referred to the Daily Mail’s reputed support for fascism and opposition to Jewish refugees in the 1930s and to a leaving party thrown for an outgoing editor in which some guests were reportedly dressed as Nazis.
Evening Standard editor Veronica Wadley wrote in the newspaper Friday that the mayor’s behaviour was disappointing because of his background as a “pioneering anti-racist campaigner”.
He had disgraced himself and his office, she said, hoping that he would now finally apologise and restore his reputation.
