Summary

Adam Boulton and guests discuss the fall out from the chaotic 'interruptathon' - the first US Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden - and examine the significance of the US election to the UK.

Also, the Prime Minister and his government are reprimanded by the Speaker of the House of Commons over Coronavirus legislation - on the day Boris Johnson asks the country for forbearance and sacrifice in the ongoing battle against COVID 19.
Is the ground being prepared for a second national lockdown and can the Prime Minister keep his vocal backbenchers onside as he navigates the UK's response?

Joining Adam this week are: Lecturer in International Political Economy at Birkbeck University Dr Ashok Kumar; comment editor of City AM, Rachel Cunliffe; Sky's diplomatic editor Dominic Waghorn and Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig
