Harry Cole, current news editor at Guido Fawkes,is joining The Sun's political team as Westminster correspondent.
In addition to the appointment of Harry Cole, The Sun on Sunday's Craig Woodhouse is to become editor of Politics Home - replacing Kevin Schofield.
Craig Woodhouse is currently political correspondent for The Sun on Sunday's political team.
Harry Cole has been at Guido Fawkes since 2008, starting his career as an intern.
He has since set up Guido Fawkes' Tory Bear blog, despite having no formal journalism training.
Guido Fawkes was Cole's first job since leaving university.
Cole is also a contributing editor to The Spectator magazine.
"Harry's considerable charm and panache more than compensated for his idiosyncratic early writing style, which Guido would describe as 'after-dinner-speech', this however allowed him to branch out into writing for the Spectator." a blog post announcing his departure said.
"He's also been writing for mainstream media tabloids for years - it is no small skill to be able to write well received features for The Spectator, and the tightly written popular journalism that has seen Guido's Sun column contract renewed for three years - winning him fans at The Sun such that they have poached him.
"It is no exaggeration to say that the success of Guido over the last six years is in large part down to Harry. The puns, the fun, the ability to get a story - often after an inexplicably long lunch - brilliance. Harry's new colleagues in Parliament will no doubt appreciate and welcome his strong views, as expressed to the Press Gazette, on morally bankrupt Lobby journalism. How he came to be woken up from kipping on a sofa by a Permanent Secretary at 7am in the Secretary of State's private ministerial office will always remain our secret."
