Guess where Andrew Marr's off to?

 

Silly leftists on Twitter who have stormed at former Independent editor Andrew Marr every week in recent years for being 'a BBC Tory' will probably keep quiet about him now that he's becoming the New Statesman's chief political commentator - a move that may surprise them but surely won't surprise anyone sensible. 

As it's editor Jason Cowley puts it, the NS is 'a publication "of the left, for the left", so Andrew Marr is evidently returning home.

Update: He tweeteth:

I see in reply that someone had the same thought as me:

Samuel Lloyd: The Left, for years: “Marr is a Tory Party stooge!” Marr, upon leaving the BBC: joins the well known Tory publication… ummm… The New Statesman…

Yet more proof that the 'claims from both sides' argument that some at the BBC still use to defend themselves remains a fallacious argument.
