They’ll give you updates on stories you may have missed this summer… Did shutting down an illegal border at Roxham Road work? Have we taken any political moves on addressing foreign interference? Why the heck can’t we see news on Instagram #BillC-18? 

And we’ll look ahead at what you should be keeping your eye on once parliament returns. With a new cabinet on the hill, what change can we expect if any? How well is our Conservative Leader’s fresh new look treating him in the polls? AND, is there any plan whatsoever to address the cost of living crisis?
