Summary

At the fourth attempt, Boris Johnson has secured the general election he wanted. Instead of discussing leaving the European Union, this week Adam Boulton and guests look ahead to the pre-Christmas vote - the first in December for almost a century. They examine the timing, the key policy battlegrounds and discuss the issue of toxicity in British politics as several MPs decide not to stand as candidates. A fascinating but bitter winter campaign lies ahead. Joining Adam this week are the columnist and broadcaster Steve Richards, the Brexit Party MEP Claire Fox and Sky's political correspondent Lewis Goodall.
