Two potential candidates have now taken to Twitter to rule themselves out of the running to replace Laura Kuenssberg as BBC Political Editor. Vicki Young and Chris Mason say they are happy with their current jobs.
Meanwhile there's a rumour, no more, that former US editor Jon Sopel would like to help new BBC CEO Deborah Turness solve two problems at one, by offering himself, humbly, as the replacement for both Laura and Andrew Marr.
Certainly it's possible for the next Political Editor to be less omnipresent than Laura, who didn't seem to mind 0800 stints with Today, making the tv packages for the 10 herself and bracketing it with live intros and outros, Monday to Thursday, plus Brexitcast and Newscast and an active Twitter presence.
