Beth Rigby is the Political Editor for Sky News and a prominent voice in British broadcasting, where she co-hosts the political podcast Electoral Dysfunction. Before joining Sky, she spent more than ten years at the Financial Times, developing her expertise as the chief political correspondent and deputy political editor. Her career began as a trainee at the FT following her degrees in social and political science and Latin American studies. She initially focused on retail, consumer industries, and hedge funds before moving into the political sphere and holding a brief role as media editor at The Times. Now at the forefront of televised political journalism, she hosts her own interview programme on Sky, engaging with leaders and changemakers about the current state of Britain and the global landscape. Having reported through the complexities of Brexit and several changes in government, she is a privileged observer of the most significant moments in modern Westminster history. She is widely recognised for her direct and grounded reporting style, providing clear analysis of the personalities and motives driving the UK's legislative centre. Audiences book her for her unparalleled ability to translate the intricacies of Westminster into clear narratives, offering a candid and expert perspective on the future of British politics. On stage, Beth Rigby is best known for talks on Politics & Geopolitics. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
