Summary

Adam Boulton and guests discuss the new restrictions imposed across the UK in response to the rising cases of coronavirus.

Too far or not far enough?

And with differences of approach by the devolved nations as Scotland and Northern Ireland go further than England, are we starting to witness the slow motion evaporation of the Union?

Also, this would have been the week in which the Labour leader was front and centre of the political discourse with a major party conference speech. The panel assesses what impact - if any - Sir Keir Starmer's virtual address has had on the party and the country post-Jeremy Corbyn.

Joining Adam this week are the Editor of The Courier newspaper, David Clegg; the deputy leader writer of The Sun, Olivia Utley and Sky’s Chief Political Correspondent Jon Craig.
