Mellor makes move in name of his father

By Axegrinder axeblog

Congratulations to young James Mellor who has been poached from the Sunday Telegraph newsdesk by Colin Myler to become news editor at the News of the World.

He follows in the footsteps of his father Phil Mellor, the legendary deskman at the Sunday Mirror ‒ a man who’s been around so long some of his bylines are in Latin.

But has there been a mix-up at Wapping? Mellor senior has been telling chums: “Colin wanted me, but I’m too young!”
