The Honourable Robert James Kenneth Peston (born 25 April 1960) is a British journalist currently working as the Political Editor for ITV News. From February 2006 until March 2014, he was the Business Editor for BBC News. He became known to a wider public with his reporting of the late-2000s financial crisis, especially with his scoop on the Northern Rock crisis.
Peston is the son of economist and Labour Peer Maurice Peston and Helen (Conroy). As the son of a peer he is entitled to the courtesy title "The Honourable" but does not use it. Peston attended Highgate Wood Secondary School, in Crouch End, North London, graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with a second in 1982 and then studied at the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
Peston briefly worked as a stockbroker at Williams de Broë, becoming a journalist in 1983 at the Investors Chronicle and joining The Independent newspaper on its launch in 1986. From 1989 to 1990 Peston worked for the short-lived Sunday Correspondent newspaper as Deputy City Editor, before being appointed City Editor of the Independent on Sunday in 1990.
Nigel Paul Farage (/ˈfærɑːʒ/; born 3 April 1964) is a British politician and former commodity broker. He is the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), having held the position since November 2010, and previously from September 2006 to November 2009. Since 1999 he has been a Member of the European Parliament for South East England. He co-chairs the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (formerly "Europe of Freedom and Democracy") group. He has been noted for his sometimes controversial speeches in the European Parliament and has strongly criticised the euro.
Farage was a founding member of UKIP, having left the Conservative Party in 1992 after the signing of the Maastricht Treaty. After unsuccessfully campaigning in European and Westminster parliamentary elections for UKIP since 1994, he was elected MEP for South East England in the 1999 European Parliament Election. He was subsequently re-elected in 2004, 2009 and, most recently, at the 2014 European Parliament Election.
In her first television interview since announcing her candidacy, Theresa May has told Peston on Sunday that she will unite the country if she becomes prime minister.

With chancellor George Osborne championing ever closer links to China, Robert Peston explores the country's dramatic economic slowdown and its potential impact on Britain. Visiting a ghost city and deserted factories in the north east, Peston reveals how China has built up one of the biggest debt bubbles in world history, and questions whether China's economic woes are worse than Beijing is admitting. In the booming south, Peston hits the shops to explore whether China can spend its way out of the slowdown - in the face of debts still growing by hundreds of billions of pounds a year.
