Ian King’s Sky sendoff, the man behind Guido Fawkes and your workplace weather rights; catch up on the latest gossip in The Capitalist

Return of the King?

Legendary Sky News business presenter Ian King has officially left the channel after 11 years, with the occasion marked last night at a proper knees-up on WPP’s rooftop bar, in glorious sunshine. King thanked all his colleagues past and present, with a special thanks to John Ryley and John McAndrew “for bringing me in.” He also raised a glass to all the guests who have appeared across his more than 2,000 shows – and “to the comms advisers who, in some cases, had to persuade them to step in front of a camera”. King says he’ll announce his next move in the coming weeks, and The Capitalist is confident that he’ll remain a major presence. Pay attention, comms advisers.
