Former Tory minister to take reins at magazine bought recently by Paul Marshall, with Charles Moore as chair

The former cabinet minister Michael Gove has been named as the new editor of the Spectator magazine, weeks after the GB News backer Sir Paul Marshall completed a £100m takeover of the politically right-leaning magazine.

Gove, who will take over from Fraser Nelson on 4 October, will be joined by the former Daily Telegraph and Spectator editor Charles Moore who has been named as chair.
