• Jan.26.2018: Guardian Hires Smear Merchant. The Guardian has appointed a new deputy political editor: step forward Pippa Crerar, formerly of the Evening Standard. Ms Crerar's previous form includes a central role in the Standard's promotion of Tory hopeful Zac Goldsmith in the run-up to the 2016 London Mayoral election, a campaign which was marred by smears, Islamophobia, and the kinds of baseless accusations of terrorist sympathy aimed at Labour's Sadiq Khan that disgraced the Tory effort. Those smears were encouraged by the Standard - including by Ms Crerar. ...along with her closeness to former very occasional London Mayor Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Zelo Street, Tim Fenton
• Jan.25.2018: New Guardian Deputy Political Editor - Starting As She Means To Go On? Journalist Pippa Crerar has been active on social media on a number of contentious issues. (She has tweeted a lot of stuff that looks very anti-Labour.) Zelo Street, Tim Fenton
