First it emerged that Phil Webster, political editor of The Times, is to move to become Europe editor of the paper after the election - after overseeing coverage of the event from Wapping. His replacement is Roland Watson, head of news at The Times, who has previously worked in Westminster and Washington.

And now David Wooding, the Whitehall editor of the Sun, is moving to the News of the World to be an associate editor.

All this just days after George Pascoe-Watson quit the political editorship of the Times to join a lobbying firm, Portland.
