Two of Westminster's best-connected journalists - Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard - provide the essential guide to politics in the week ahead. They look to what's in store at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool – including how Sir Keir Starmer will lay out his priorities ahead of a general election – and how what’s happening in the Middle East will be discussed by those at the conference. Plus, Jack and Sam check back on their predictions from the last episode – including Rishi Sunak’s HS2 announcement and the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.
