Independence in tatters?
I'm back on Monday - my colleague Anita Anand presents today's programme. Here's her take on events and what's coming up.
Has the case for a fully independent Scotland suffered a crushing blow after the bail-out of Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS by Westminster? Some analysts argue that the case for independence now "lies in tatters" after hundreds of years of Scottish banking independence went up in smoke this week.
Alex Salmond, Scotland's First Minister and Leader of the nationalist SNP, will be joining me live to on the show to talk through this week's events.
And, staying with the global banking crisis, David Cameron this morning launches an attack on Gordon Brown's handling of the economy accusing him of "complete and utter failure". So the results of our exclusive Daily Politics Poll on the three main parties and who is now most trusted on the economy will make interesting reading. We'll see whether Flash Gordon really has managed to pull off some polling magic.
We'll have two big Westminster brains with us throughout the show today - Sarah Sands, former editor of the Sunday Telegraph and Phil Collins, Tony Blair's former speechwriter.
We'll look at the latest from the presidential campaign - Laura Kuenssberg will be joining us live from Boston.
And, as ever, we'll have our weekly rundown of what's hot and what's not in the Top Of The Political Pops.
