Excited to be joining the Sunday Times as deputy news editor at what will be a perfectly uneventful time in news.
Beyond proud of my what my team at @politicshome have achieved covering three prime ministers, and more Weary Senior Tories™️ and Rishi Resets than I can count
Up and running as deputy news editor at The Sunday Times (well, yesterday, but I locked myself out of Twitter because I am an idiot).
New contact details in bio - DMs open for tips and good vibes.
Signing off as editor of @politicshome for the final time and what a wild four years it’s been in Westminster. I am so proud of what we’ve achieved, which of course wouldn’t be possible without my wonderful team so here’s a shout-out to them: 🧵

Fun new @politicshome story from @jonnelledge on apparent shitposing
I’ve never known anyone except @_tomscotson say they were buzzing for party conferences and actually mean it. A solid reporter who hit the ground running from day one and is so clearly a star in the making.
BuzzFeed News is one of the few places that would send you round Ireland with abortion rights protesters buzzfeed.com/laurasilver/in… and to take the piss out of a Goop shop buzzfeed.com/laurasilver/gw… with equal seriousness, and it was a real privilege to work there
