Rishi Sunak is having a grim time up north as the Tories gather in Manchester for their annual conference. As the PM attempts to put crowd pleasing policies forward (and not mention HS2), the race to replace him has already started.

In world news, we look at the U.S. after it narrowly avoided a government shutdown, the latest on Ukraine — and finally, a slow burning financial crisis in China.

Jacob Jarvis is joined in The Bunker by Alex Andreou to get you prepped for the week ahead.

“Sunak was chancellor for two years before he was PM, he only looked at HS2 now?” – Alex Andreou
“Labour basically have to look a bit less shi*t than the Tories to win conference season.” – Jacob Jarvis
