Not content with the £90m expected profit from the £200m sale and lease-back of the Telegraph’s Victoria offices, the Barclay Brothers are apparently trying to save a few shillings at their flagship title.

Word reaches Axegrinder of an expenses crackdown which has seen four members of staff dragged over the coals by a senior executive.
