Deputed

One presumes the floods are distracting hyper-active Sky News boss John Ryley from making a quick decision on a new political editor. The field to replace Thomas Adam Babbington Boulton (Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford) is thought to be a big one - but it's being carefully monitored at Telegraph Towers.

There, Benedict Brogan is still described as "Deputy Editor" - though his Editor, Tony Gallagher has been removed, with assistant editor (news) Chris Evans appointed "acting" editor, Monday to Friday, of the Daily Telegraph print edition. As with most interventions from Jason Seiken, Editor-in-Chief, there's a broad vision but little detail. So Benedict's candidacy for a move to the red, white and blue of the big screen takes on an additional edge.

Benedict loves Today, Radio 3, making jam and The Shard. He was caught taking the name of Arsenal in vain in an email, in an employment tribunal brought (and lost) by Andrew Gimson.
