Fraser Nelson is to become the new editor of the Spectator. The former Political Editor of The Scotsman is living proof that the devil has all the best tunes.
A convinced Conservative with a public school accent, he is quite possibly the best political journalist of his generation. This correspondent first met him when he was learning his trade as a student hack at the Glasgow University Guardian.
Channel 4 News reporter James Blake was part of the same generation of Glasgow students who now work in London.
It is disappointing that, after ten years of devolution, our best talent still goes south and we have no equivalent of the Spectator, the New Statesman, or even a Radical Scotland.
