Can the government kick start the economy?

Andrew Neil | 10:37 UK time, Friday, 21 November 2008

As usual on Fridays, I shall leave you in the more than capable hands of my co-presenter Anita Anand. anita.jpg

Seemingly the world and is wife are aware that the government is planning to try and rescue the economy with a financial stimulus package on Monday.

But just what will this package entail? How much will it cost? And will it actually work? We will have the Daily Politics guide to the Pre-Budget Report and we will be talking to Sally Keeble, a Labour MP and member of the Treasury Select Committee.

And the economic woe continued this morning with figures showing that over in the last quarter. We have the details.

Also this week the Government's Organ Donation Taskforce announced that it opposed "presumed consent" for organ donation.

Gordon Brown immediately made it clear that he still supported , which would mean that every UK citizen would be assumed to be willing to donate their organs in the event of sudden death, unless they had specifically opted out by placing their name on a register.

We will be asking one person who has had a transplant why he thinks Gordon Brown is right.

And for his unique take on events this week Al Jean, the executive producer of the Simpsons, will be here to give his views on what's up and down in the political charts.
With us for the whole programme will be journalist, Ann Leslie and satirist, Alistair Beaton.
