Savile scandal scoop journalist Miles Goslett has been appointed UK editor of a new libertarian news website launched by News Corp.
The site Heat Street is being launched by former Conservative MP Louise Mensch.
According to a News Corp spokesman, the site will "in a spirit of free speech and no ‘safe spaces', cover a variety of topics from a diversity of viewpoints".
Goslett will provide content for the US site, taking advantage of the time difference, and will also provide UK coverage.
