The Sun's political editor to take new job in US arm of Murdoch media empire
THE Sun's political editor is leaving the post for a new job covering Donald Trump in America. Harry Cole, who has led the right-wing tabloid's political coverage for five years, will become the paper's editor-at-large based in Fox News's Washington DC bureau. Reporting to the paper's editor-in-chief Victoria Newton, Cole will write a Saturday column for The Sun and host an online chat show produced by Red Seat Ventures. He will also write a monthly column for The Sun's American sibling, the New York Post and will appear on Fox News, another arm of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. Cole said: 'After covering six PMs, a pandemic, wars and all the political skullduggery of Westminster, it's a wrench to leave the Lobby after 10 years. 'It's been an honour to serve the last five in the most fun job in political journalism – but I can't wait to get stuck into the biggest story on the planet right now for our readers, viewers and listeners.' The Sun is part of the British arm of Murdoch's media empire, of which his most conservative son Lachlan (above) is seen as the heir apparent amid an ongoing legal push from his siblings to wrest control of News Corp and the Fox Corporation. Rupert Murdoch stepped down as chair of the two companies in 2023, but is still believed to have sway over them. READ MORE: While the paper was perceived as hugely influential in its heyday, the paper's significance has waned with the decline in circulation numbers across print media. The paper's link with deciding the outcomes of UK elections since 1979 was broken in 2010 after it backed David Cameron's Conservatives, who lost out on an overall majority and had to form a coalition with the LibDems. However, the paper has backed the winners of every General Election since, including swinging behind Labour last year, as well as coming out for the winning sides of the Brexit and Scottish independence referendums.

Names tipped to replace him in one of the top jobs in lobby journalism include his deputy Ryan Sabey, The Sun on Sunday's political editor Kate Ferguson and The Sun's chief political correspondent Jack Elsom.

Let's use St George's Day to celebrate the things we all love about being English and gifted to the world
Fly the flag THE Sun today has a simple message for our readers celebrating St George's Day: Be proud and fly the flag. The Prime Minister is entirely correct to call for our national flag to be wrested back from the unwanted embrace of Far Right thugs. 1 But his words must also be heard by those on the Left who sneer at any sign of patriotism and mock those who choose to mark our national day. Far too often, the woke brigade dangerously and wrongly conflate joyous flag-waving with nationalist or fascist hate, when it's actually an emblem of values we should all share. Let's use this day to celebrate the things we all love about being English and gifted to the world. Our language, global scientific achievements, sporting heritage, the rights to freedom, law and democracy. Friends, family, kindness and tolerance towards strangers; a pint down the pub and a Friday night takeaway. Self arm BRITAIN should never have been locked out of selling arms to European allies. But now that President Trump is putting pressure on Europe to arm itself, rather than rely on the US, the UK's massive skills in the sector make us even more attractive to countries desperate to boost their forces. So why should the Prime Minister consider selling out our hard-won Brexit rights as part of any deal? Wiser European heads were shocked when the posturing French leader Emmanuel Macron tried to demand more British fish in return for UK access to the £150billion Security Action for Europe Fund, at a time of such grave threat from Russia. As ever when it comes to Brexit-related negotiations, ministers need to realise that the EU needs what we have. Sir Keir should hold fire until other European leaders force President Macron to see sense. Rachel peeves EVEN allowing for the IMF's shocking forecast record, its latest economic crystal-ball gazing makes grim reading for the Chancellor. A double whammy of lower growth and higher inflation would severely dent Rachel Reeves's hopes for turning around a fragile economy. It could also leave her facing the politically disastrous choice of either hiking taxes even more or bigger welfare cuts. Her first priority in Washington must be to try to get rid of President Trump's damaging 25 per cent tariff on UK-built cars and steel. Then go all-out to secure that vital US trade deal.

Watch excruciating moment CBB's JoJo nominates Patsy to her face and tells her she ‘brings her mood down'
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans were left cringing as JoJo Siwa dropped a brutal bombshell – nominating Patsy Palmer to her face and admitting she ' brings her mood down.' The excruciating moment had the house in stunned silence – and viewers couldn't believe their ears. 2 2 Last night's episode of Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live revealed the housemates will be doing face-to-face nominations. The sneak peek showed JoJo Siwa nominating Patsy Palmer and explaining her reasons why. She said: "My first nomination is Patsy. I nominate you because I feel like sometimes when I have conversations with you I find it really hard to be happy to be here. "And I feel like the conversation feels like it's low and I think in an environment like this, so quick paced, so unpredictable that having that outlook of just positivity really helps me and I really struggle to find that outlook with you. That's my reasons." Patsy replied: "Thank you, I'll be alright." ITV viewers took to social media to comment on the tension between the pair during the nominations. One wrote: "Jojo telling patsy 'I find it hard to be happy when I talk to you' is so brutal oh my god." Another added: "Looool patsy wants to hit jojo." A third penned: "Patsy looks so p***** off about Jojo nominating her." The reality show revealed it will be saying goodbye to THREE housemates in Tuesday night's eviction. Huge CBB bloodbath revealed as stars face TRIPLE eviction with a very cruel twist Meanwhile, fans think they've uncovered a bizarre pattern in this year's evictions – and it's all to do with age. According to some eagle-eyed viewers, the celebrities are leaving in age-descending order. The latest eviction saw Olympian Daley Thompson, 66, leave the house on Friday night. But Daley's exit also added fuel to a growing theory online – that contestants are leaving in order of their age, from oldest to youngest. CBB 2025 - what the star's get paid THE Sun previously revealed Celebrity Big Brother's rich list line-up. We reported on the whopper show fees, with American star Mickey Rourke leading the way. Here's the real deal for show earnings: Mickey Rourke - £500,000 JoJo Siwa - £400,000 Trisha Goddard - £200,000 Daley Thompson - £150,000 Michael Fabricant - £120,000 Patsy Palmer and Jack P Shepherd - £100,000 Angellica Bell - £80,000 Chris Hughes - £45,000 Danny Beard and Donna Preston - £30,000 Chesney Hawkes - £25,000 Ella Rae Wise - £20,000 So far, the evicted housemates are Michael Fabricant, 74, Mickey Rourke, 72, Trisha Goddard, 67, and Daley, 66. That's prompted fans to predict that Chesney Hawkes, 53, and Patsy Palmer, 52, might be next in line. While younger stars like JoJo Siwa, 21, and Ella Rae Wise, 24, could be safe for now. Fan account Super TV wrote on X, formerly Twitter: 'The celebrities have left this series of Celebrity Big Brother in age descending order: Michael – 74 Mickey – 72 Trisha – 67 Daley – 66 …Chesney is next.' Theories quickly spiralled, with one fan fuming: 'Don't put that evil on the kind Chesney omg,' while another added: 'No!!!!' Someone else posted: 'Interesting… very interesting." Some viewers also shared their shock over Michael's age, with one asking: 'Michael is 74?!? Wait WHATTT??? He looks way younger." A second added: 'Can't get over Michael is older than all that's left."

Watch as Chris Hughes breaks down in tears after he's accused of being a gameplayer in brutal CBB task
CHRIS Hughes was left breaking down in tears on Celebrity Big Brother after being branded a "gameplayer" by his co-stars. The former Love Island star was on the receiving end of the comment as part of the show's latest family-themed shopping task. 5 5 Whilst Chris initially appeared to brush off the comments, made by Angellica Bell and Ella Rae Wise, in a first look at tonight's episode on yesterday's Late and Live, Chris could be seen in uncontrollable tears in the Diary Room. The comments appeared to surface when now axed housemate Daley Thompson suggested to Angellica and Ella that Chris and JoJo Siwa were "playing the game". He appeared to suggest that the pair knew what they were doing in order to occupy screen time and told Angellica and Ella of this just before he was evicted from the house. It led to Ella saying that JoJo was playing the biggest game during a truth-telling Bingo task, seemingly based on Daley's words. Her comment stemmed from their close friendship with TV presenter Angellica later targeting Chris during the game based on the same assumptions. In a heartbreaking moment, set to be screened in full tonight, Chris broke down in the Diary Room to Big Brother. As Big Brother told him to take his time, Chris struggled with his words. He later said through tears: "I'm literally just in here being me, living. "I hate f***king toxic stuff in life like I hate environments. "It just brings you down." Huge CBB bloodbath revealed as stars face TRIPLE eviction with a very cruel twist During last night's show, Chris ranted about Ella in the Diary Room following her comments. He suggested Ella's actions stemmed from jealousy over his growing friendship with JoJo. He said: 'She isn't sweet on JoJo so there might be a jealousy thing there, I don't know. "She likes to have her two pence worth and if she's out of a conversation she wants to be in it.' Chris had earlier clashed with Ella during a segment of the task that involved learning a dance routine dressed as toddlers in Big Brother's nursery. At one point, he told her to 'use her brain'. The backlash intensified after Ella criticised JoJo and Chris for their reality TV backgrounds, calling them 'professional reality stars and social climbers' who were 'playing a game'.
