Village gossip - The Times hires The Sun's business editor

This seems to be pretty much an open secret among business hacks in London but in case you haven't heard I can exclusively reveal (I think) that Simon English, The Sun's business editor, is joining The Times to become deputy business editor.

I have to admit the chaps over at FT Alphaville alluded to Simon's departure from The Sun last week on markets live but I can add to their snippet he is joining The Times.
