So now I can reveal the big tease over the past weeks. I'm moving sites and becoming the Spectator's blogger.

Clive Davis is doing the same thing, the idea being my site will be the 'front half' of the magazine and Clive the 'back half'. I'm thrilled to be blogging alongside Clive, whose blog has always been one of my daily must-reads.

I've hugely enjoyed running this site for the past four years, but when I was offered the opportunity to switch across to the Spectator and start a new venture for the magazine's online presence I jumped at it.

Nothing will change, other than a new address, a new design and more capabilities (I'll have access to all sorts of gizmos denied to me here). I won't be edited by anyone so the content will be the same - just as annoying to many of you! - as it is here.

I do hope you'll move across with me and enjoy the new site. Please indulge us for a few days while we sort out the glitches (such as the mysterious absence of the blog roll).

This site will continue, but only as a repository for my newspaper and magazine articles. There will be no more blogging here.

Thanks for sll your support over the years, and I look forward to seeing you at the new site.
