The Sunday Express editor, David Wooding, has become the latest top editorial executive to depart Reach, as the national and regional newspaper publisher embarks on further job cuts despite a promise its rounds of redundancies were finished.

Wooding, who left his role as assistant editor at the Sun to take up the role in August 2022, has left as part of a move to dismantle the remaining dedicated Sunday Express editorial team to create a seven-day operation.
