A mere five months after notching up his first byline in the Daily Telegraph, Steve Hawkes is returning to the Sun as its deputy political editor, working across the daily and Sunday editions. Homesick Hawkes left his Wapping job as the Sun's business editor to be consumer affairs editor of the Torygraph earlier this year, but will return before Christmas in place of Graeme Wilson, who was named as David Cameron's new press secretary in August. The Sun editor David Dinsmore confirmed Hawkes's homecoming in an email to staff on Tuesday morning. "As most of you are aware, Steve was previously of this parish as business editor and it will be great to have him back," he said. No word yet on the 'Welcome back!' party.
