Prior to this appointment, Wilson was the deputy political editor of The Sun. [2] Wilson joined the tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch in 2007. He has covered politics for other newspapers since 1997. [3]
Wilson replaced Gabby Bertin, who is set to become director of external relations when she returns to Parliament from maternity leave.
It is felt that Wilson's well- regarded reputation will help to improve Cameron's relationship with the press. [4] James Forsyth says of Wilson
- “The high regard in which Wilson is held will boost relations between Number 10 and the political print press”. [1]
