Beth Rigby

Beth Rigby first appeared on television in 2016. Today she is one of the UK’s most instantly recognised TV journalists.

Reporting from Westminster with her trademark no-nonsense, often intimate, interviewing style, Beth is now the face of British politics on Sky News. Joining the Financial Times as a graduate trainee in 1998 and working as retail correspondent, hedge fund correspondent, and consumer industries editor, Beth was appointed chief political correspondent in 2010. She became deputy political editor in 2013 before moving to The Times.

With her informal style delivered in her wonderful trademark Essex vocal delivery Beth often asks politicians questions that other interviewers would never dream of asking. On the departure of Faisal Islam, Beth Rigby was appointed Political Editor at Sky News and took up the post in April 2019.

She’s brilliant.
