Harry Cole (born 27 April 1986) is a British journalist who is the editor-at-large of the US edition of The Sun. From 2020 to 2025, he was the UK political editor, having previously been the deputy political editor of The Mail On Sunday.
Cole was born on 27 April 1986.[1][2] His early education was at Sevenoaks School and Tonbridge School, both private schools in Kent. He studied anthropology and economic history at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with an undergraduate Master of Arts (MA Hons) degree in 2009.[3] While at university, he was Vice-Chairman and Treasurer of the Edinburgh University Conservative Association.[4] and was Vice-President of Scottish Conservative Future.[5] He also wrote the Tory Bear blog which focussed on right-wing political gossip.[6]
He ran to become Edinburgh University Students' Association President in 2008.[7] Cole withdrew his candidacy after the student newspaper The Journal reported that his campaign was behind the anonymous blog EUSAless which had criticised the union and other candidates including an attack on another candidate's sexual orientation.[7] He had previously denied involvement when asked and had urged other candidates to sign a clean campaign pledge.[8]
