Journalist Rod Liddle has died at the age of 66 after a short illness. He was known for his columns in the Sunday Times, the Spectator, and The Sun, as well as his Saturday morning shows for Times Radio.
Liddle's columns often targeted what he described as the politically correct, liberal-left elite. He was the first journalist to be censured by the Press Complaints Commission in 2010.
Before his career as a columnist, Liddle was editor of the Today programme on Radio 4, a role he took on in 1998. He left the BBC in 2003 after being asked to choose between his columns and his position at the corporation.
