Earlier this week, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delayed the much-anticipated plan on the UK's tax and spending by more than two weeks.

Rescheduled from tomorrow, the statement is expected to set out how the government intends to get its debt falling in order to reassure investors of the UK's economic credibility, following financial turmoil after former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget.

The 17 November plan will need to fill a “fiscal black hole”, or shortfall, in the government’s budget. Estimates suggest the government may have to find up to £50bn.

Ahead of the statement, the government is yet to set out its position on various issues including whether benefits and pensions will rise in line with inflation, defence spending, taxes, NHS hospital funding and possible cuts to government departments.

Our political correspondent Ione Wells reports that, while the cost of government borrowing has fallen in recent days, the chancellor and PM have been told economic growth is forecast to be lower than expected - leaving them with “sober” decisions on spending cuts and tax rises.

Labour MP Yvette Cooper is currently the shadow home secretary.

She was elected in 1997 as Tony Blair was swept into power and since then Cooper has represented the constituency of Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford in West Yorkshire.

She served in former PM Gordon Brown’s cabinet as chief secretary to the Treasury and then as work and pensions secretary. Cooper came third in the 2015 contest that installed Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, and has been shadow home secretary under Keir Starmer for the past year.

She has repeatedly criticised Rishi Sunak for his decision to reinstate Suella Braverman as home secretary - less than a week after she resigned from the role after sharing confidential documents via her personal email.

Cooper is demanding Rishi Sunak "comes clean" and releases assessments of Suella Braverman's security breach.

We’ll hear during the programme from Michael Gove. He is back in cabinet having been confirmed as Rishi Sunak’s levelling up secretary.

Gove has been an MP for Surrey Heath for almost 20 years. The 55-year-old is an experienced cabinet minister who has held a number of prominent roles in government, including education secretary, justice secretary and - most recently - levelling up secretary under Boris Johnson.

However, he was sacked from that role in July, after urging Johnson to resign as prime minister. After his dismissal he said did not expect to return to frontbench politics.

He then backed Rishi Sunak during the summer Tory Party leadership contest and, at the time, said Liz Truss's tax policies were a "holiday from reality".

Only four weeks ago, on the Laura Kuennsberg show, he suggested he would not vote for Truss’s mini-budget in parliament, and said borrowing money to fund tax cuts was “not Conservative”.

What else has he been in the headlines for? Well, he has admitted using cocaine as a young journalist.

There was also the time he was filmed dancing at an Aberdeen nightclub last year, and in May he was criticised for adopting American and scouse accents, external in a BBC Breakfast interview on the cost of living.

And he took being trapped in a BBC lift for half an hour, external in good humour.

After the last few years - let alone the last few weeks - you can see why Michael Gove has said in a speech that he is grateful "boring is back".

Gove, who has returned to cabinet as levelling up secretary and appears on this week's programme, made the comments at the London Press Club awards.

You too might feel relief that the crazy period of the Truss administration has come to an end, and that in Rishi Sunak we seem to have a prime minister who doesn't revel in scrapes and scandals, who doesn't have making headlines at the top of his to-do list.

Now who might we be talking about?

One of his ministers told me Sunak had "ended the Tory psychodrama with a careful reshuffle of all the talents and a focus on delivery", saying it was a sign of the recent turmoil that commentators see that as "boring".

"It's actually serious government," they added.

Another of his MPs, who did not find a berth in government, had a less flattering assessment, saying: "He's managed to appoint to some of the dullest people in Parliament to ministerial jobs, so if anybody can succeed in being boring, it's some of these people." Ouch!

• In his first address as PM, Sunak vowed to fix Truss’s mistakes and warned of “difficult decisions” ahead
• He reshaped Truss’s Cabinet – just under a dozen MPs including Jacob Rees-Mogg were ousted, while Jeremy Hunt remained as chancellor and James Cleverly as foreign secretary
• Sunak faced some heat for re-appointing Suella Braverman as home secretary less than a week after she resigned from the post after sending confidential documents from her private email
• Dominic Raab returned as deputy prime minister and Michael Gove as levelling up secretary, but there was no promotion for Mordaunt who remained as leader of the House of Commons. Gillian Keegan was appointed as the fifth education secretary since July
• The new prime minister‘s first PMQs on Wednesday was dominated by criticism of Braverman’s reappointment, though it also become clear Sunak would reinstate the fracking ban that Liz Truss had said she would lift
• On Friday he faced more criticism for saying he would not to attend the upcoming COP27 UN climate summit - saying he intends to focus on issues in the UK
