More from Andrew Marr

More from Andrew Marr on leaving the BBC and joining the left-wing New Statesman as it's chief political commentator:

It’s a huge privilege to be joining one of the great titles of British political journalism, the paper of Orwell, Priestley and Ali Smith — I grew up learning how to think by reading Christopher Hitchens and other NS writers — and I’m thrilled to be there as part of my new life which includes daily political broadcasting for LBC and Global. I have been looking for partners who won’t be leaning on my shoulder as I write — and it seems I have found them.
