No. Sarah did the :58 preview.
Kay appeared now (14:25). She seems to have moved over to use Jon Craig's camera position.
Did Kay do the Coming Up at :58? If so they must have lost the link during the weather, Sarah Hughes reacted very well I thought, they have cut to ads now so Kay will probably be back after these I would guess.
Edit: or not, still Sarah

However the BBC had James Lansdale inside and he was talking to the big players before they left the building to get to Kay.
Looks like Kay is in a good location,talking to all the big players as they come out of the Commons.

Can we expect a cheapo promo featuring James Lansdale saying: "I believe Sky are ready to speak to you now"?

This is embarrassing. It simply reads like a messianic tirade, leaping from issue to issue with seemingly no pause for consideration, reflection or analysis.
Does Boulton not realise that throw-away comments like 'he's looked past his sell by date for years' he undermines not only his own reputation but a reputation for a news organization that has taken 20 years to nurture.

The decision of Michael Martin to step down is the biggest fall brought on by the scandal over MPs expenses.
Mr Martin became a symbol of the old guard of MPs jealously defending their privileges and deeply resentful at the impertinence of any intrusion into their goings-on.
On top of that he was never good at his job, as demonstrated by the pathetic spectacle of his failing to keep control and having to consult his clerks on points of procedure even as he struggled to save his neck in the Commons yesterday.
All this raises the question of why MPs ever chose him for the job in 2000.
The answer exposes one of the least attractive sides of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
By rights, after Betty Boothroyd, a party other than Labour should have provided the Speaker.
But with a parliamentary majority and the backing of the Government Whips, Labour decided to keep the job for one of their own.
Mr Martin vigorously played the working class hero card, frequently referring to his past as worker in the Glasgow steel yards and accusing anyone who criticised him, of snobbery.
He may have had some justification once in office when Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail began lampooning him viciously as "Gorbals Mick".
However, Speaker Martin has had a good run and has looked past his sell-by date for years.
He has only himself to blame for his humiliation now.
He could have signalled a long time ago that he would retire by the next General Election, but he has greedily hung on to his position, apparently fancying carrying on beyond the next election.
For much of his time Mr Martin was useful to those MPs who, like him, wanted to enjoy their perks without public scrutiny. In that he was an effective blocker.
But now, most in Parliament realise things can't go on as they were without serious embarassment.
