Now that Mark Mardell has been made Europe Editor, do you think that the BBC will unveil the new political editor, along with the new chief political correspondant together?

Anyone know how long 'till the Beeb makes a decision?

They'll probably wait until late July or early August before announcing it (presuming that Andrew Marr will take a break before doing the new programme). I'm guessing that the new chief political correspondent will be replacing Mark Mardell - I think it will probably be Guto Harri again.

It won't be Guto - he's off to America IIRC, and Guto has only been the Chief Political Coreespondant on News24, not for BBC One.

Apologies for bringing up an old thread but I didn't think it was worth making a new one.

This is an article from the BBC News website in which Andy Marr discusses his time as BBC political editor. Quite an interesting read.

Typically well-written by Marr - a really superb journalist.

Today is officially Andrew Marr's last day as Political Editor. Does anyone know when Nick Robinson is set to take over?
