Mail on Sunday deputy political editor Glen Owen has been promoted to political editor.
Owen replaces Simon Walters, who has moved across to the Daily Mail as assistant editor (politics) after almost 20 years with the Sunday paper.
Walters has been named political journalist of the year at the Society of Editors Press Awards four times, most recently in March this year.
His investigations include the Kids Company and “Tatler Tory” bullying scandals and he is also known for candid interviews with the likes of David Cameron, George Osborne, Ed Balls, Liz Kendall, Vince Cable and Camila Batmanghelidjh.
