in the general election onjune the 8th. let's get more from our chief political correspondence in webs mr. what has he said in explanation? he hasn't really given one but i think after attempting seven times to be elected as an mp perhaps he has decided it is not for him this time. he has been trying since 1994. in the last election just two years ago in south thanet, he stood again but was not successful. he is no longer leader of ukip. he is an mep, he was elected as that several times but i think he has now decided to sit this one out. the question for ukip more generally is about their prospects, many people are asking will they be able to stop a decline given that the vote to leave the european union has now happened. many ask what the point of them is. they were formed

and nigel farage was so instrumental in that decision and campaigning for that outcome, and now it has happened, what do they do? they have said they want to make sure it is a proper brexit, no backsliding from the government on all of this, but i think the wider picture for them is they are going to struggle to keep that support they had last time around, almost 4 million votes cast for ukip at the last general election. it did not result in any mps election. it did not result in any mp5 for them at all. douglas ca rswell defected to mp5 for them at all. douglas carswell defected to the party. he is also standing down. the next thing to see is where paul nuttall will stand, whether he can break out and become the first ukip mp. are there any particular constituencies that they might find attractive? i think art do is one. they feel that is probably their best chance —— hartlepool. they did

very well the last time. the sitting mp has descended he wills stand—down. so that's a possibility. they are second in many places to the conservatives will stop that will be much more difficult. i was in bolton yesterday where there is a sizeable ukip vote, but many people i spoke to who voted for them last time said they will switch that allegiance to the tories this time around. and that is purely anecdotal of course but i think it will be an issue for them. against labour in labour seats, perhaps it could be more fruitful. but they need to come up more fruitful. but they need to come up with an eritrean of what the point of them is they have been riven by infighting since nigel farage stood down as leader. they we re farage stood down as leader. they were just starting the process of rebuilding and now this map election could have come a bit too soon for them. thank you very much. police in hampshire are investigating the horrific killing of a cat in southsea over

the easter weekend. they're linking it with two other similar attacks on cats in hampshire and the isle of wight and with many more attacks nationally believed to be the work of one individual known as the uk cat killer. what's the latest? i'm standing outside the shop where the cat was killed. she was beheaded, her body was left on the opposite side of the road for passers—by to find. we are yards from her home here. it is believed this happened overnight between easter sunday into easter monday, between 1030 at night and 130 in the morning. her owners are devastated but more so because of the horrific way that she was killed. police initially told the passer—by who found the body that it was not a police matter, but it soon emerged

that because of the involvement of other animal agencies this probably was not an isolated case and could be linked to a string of similar killings largely centred in the south london area. there is an active police investigation headed up active police investigation headed up by active police investigation headed up by the metropolitan police. hampshire police have looked into this now and they say they are now linking it with two other cases in this area, another one in portsmouth at the start of this month and one in the isle of wight which happened last summer. these cat killings were first picked up back in 2015. as i said, largely in the croydon area and the south london area. there have been some 200 cases now and they have gone to other parts of the country as well. there is a £10,000 reward being offered for information to catch this killer. thank you very much. more now on the labour leader jeremy corbyn who has vowed

to "overturn the rigged system" by putting power and wealth back in the hands of "the people". in his first general election speech, he said june the 8th was not a "foregone conclusion" and that a labour government would not play by the rules of the establishment. but how much do party policies mean to voters or are they more interested in who is the party leader. to discuss this i'm joined from our central london studio by gideon skinner, head of political research at the polling company, ipsos mori. thank you forjoining us. so what is it as far as the polls are concerned? do it as far as the polls are concerned ? do people it as far as the polls are concerned? do people like the policies or do they prefer to concentrate on the leader? the classic triangle suggests there are three things to think about, the leader image, the party image and the policy. policies are certainly one key aspect but they are not the only one. certainly leader image and perceptions of confidence —— competence are crucial in working out how people decide how to vote.

so what other polls telling you about those issues? recent polls have shown some ofjeremy corbyn's and labour's policies are popular, individual policies can be popular. but the challenges they have are on wider perceptions of leader image and party competence. the conservatives are well ahead in terms of issues such as being fit to govern and having a good team of leaders while theresa may is well ahead on the keep reminisced eerie attributes the public say they want to see. issues such as having sound judgment, being a good leader, being capable, those types of questions, theresa may has a big lead. and. how much should we read into that? as we've seen in recent times polls are not always as accurate as we would like. people are not always as keen as you would hope in telling you the truth about how they will vote.

people find it difficult to think what are the issues that are affecting their vote, and they may be disinclined to say they are affected by the leader, they may wa nt to affected by the leader, they may want to say they are more interested in policy. but we know leader image is important. if you go back to the 2015 election for example, we know ed miliband touched a chord with things like the cost of living and his policies on maps, but when it came to the crunch he was a long way behind david cameron on leader image questions. how much of an advantage is it being the incumbent reminisced? it is an advantage and it gives you much more opportunity to demonstrate attributes by being premised. but it is not the only thing. there are examples of david cameron beating gordon brown, tony blair beating john major. but they had advantages on some key questions around capability and judgment.

briefly, how important will brexit bns? it will be one of the most important issues. the public say it is the most important but not the only one. the economy and education will also play a part. let's take a look at the weather now. good evening. we had some beautiful sunshine across the north east. the east coast of scotland have the highest temperature. it was cloudy in staffordshire but relatively bright. we had some showers from the lumpy clouds moving southwards and this line of cloud across all that scotla nd this line of cloud across all that scotland is developing as well. that will take centre stage in the next 48 hours, it is behind that that we does introduce the chilly air. it

will be cold overnight but most towns and cities will hold double figures and it could turn misty with fog by morning. further north we have the weather front through the day, not just have the weather front through the day, notjust rain but potentially gale force winds as well. let's look at the detail of that for the morning, it does not look pleasant. there will be some breaks of cloud and good spells of sunshine east of the pennines, to start the day, but that cloud is heading southwards. further south we have quite a bit of cloud to start, a bit of mist and fog, but it is a promising day again. largely dry and bright with hopefully increasing amounts of sunshine. in that case, most of us will stay dry apart from the odd shower and we may see temperatures getting to 14 to 16 degrees. where we have had the higher temperatures todayit we have had the higher temperatures today it will be significantly cooler, even if it brightens later,

because of the change in air and wind direction. that weatherfront pushes southwards through friday into saturday. it picks up a saturday morning. we have a north—westerly winds setting in, it is brighter across scotland and the north. there will be showers around further south. cloud around again. potentially sunshine. it is notably cooler to the north of the weather front. the high pressure is close by. it changes across the north—west with the arrival of windier, wetter weather to end the weekend, but for the majority it looks as if it will stay dry, reasonably bright, not too cold, into sunday. hello and welcome to the one show with matt baker. and angela scanlon. now, tonight's guests have something in common. they've all been on epicjourneys. hello and welcome to this special edition of one hundred days. it's europe's big test. edition of one hundred days. france prepares to go to the polls in the first round of its presidential election.
