Slaying the ghost of the Deripaska loan?
I'm back on Monday - my colleague Anita Anand presents today's programme. Here's her run down on what to expect.
George Osborne attempts to get back on the front foot this morning by attacking the government's "spending splurge" in a speech in London. So, will his Hallowe'en day speech slay the ghost of the Deripaska loan?
There's also trouble brewing for the government this week over plans to expand Heathrow Airport. Nearly 40 Labour backbenchers have now signed a early day motion calling on Ministers to rethink - we'll hear from former Transport Minister Tom Harris and shadow Transport Minister Stephen Hammond.
Also, with just four days to go in the McCain-Obama battle for the US presidency, the latest on the US elections - and, staying with Halloween, we'll be opening a casket of political horror stories for you with MP Stephen Pound.
With me throughout the show today will be Spectator Political Editor Fraser Nelson and American playwright Bonnie Greer.
Don't forget, we want your comments on all the stories making the political news - and any political horrors you think we should include - email us at daily.politics@bbc.co.uk. So do join me at noon on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ TWO.
