Summary

What chance a pre-Christmas general election? And what appetite is there for going to the polls among the parties and the public? Adam Boulton and guests discuss another significant week in Parliament as Boris Johnson's 'do or die' pledge to leave the EU by 31st October looks increasingly unlikely. Is a general election the solution to Brexit? What WILL happen on 31st October is the Speaker John Bercow will stand down and the panel will assess the candidates in the running to succeed him. Joining Adam this week are the trade unionist Eddie Dempsey, the authour of 'Getting By: Estates, Class and Culture in Austerity Britain' Dr Lisa McKenzie and Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig.
