brand in the long helps the tory brand in the long term. borisjohnson is giving a speech next week to show us what he can do with the majority of 81 in terms of legislation and notjust responding to events but coming up with them himself. but i think voters are very happy with the roll—out and also speaking to some of the labour campaigns in the ground i've had several say to me that they found some of the traditional attacks on the tories such as the fact that the nhs is underfunded which is normally a very strong line much harder on the doorstep they said. because they are saying well ijust got my vaccine, my family have just got the vaccine, there we are headed of other countries and it was a harder message to land. and you get more into thejust the message to land. and you get more into the just the temporary passing moment. ,, ., ., ., moment. keir starmer will have to reshuffle from _

road to quite a significant clash, aren't we?— aren't we? and jason is right to oint out aren't we? and jason is right to point out that _ aren't we? and jason is right to point out that one _ aren't we? and jason is right to point out that one of _ aren't we? and jason is right to point out that one of the - aren't we? and jason is right to point out that one of the thing l aren't we? and jason is right to - point out that one of the thing took a trip borisjohnson up perhaps the most obvious obstacle is scotland. talking about all the successes for the tory party in england. that's probably the problem. if you look at the united kingdom if he is disunited at the moment in the labour of upholding fairly strong. even some gains from what we are seeing. in scotland the s&p are on course for power, perhaps the majority and perhaps they will. and in england it tories are seeing a big gain in all of these things coming together, what the critics like to depict this image of is him is the prime minister of england and the covid is been quite helpful to that because you have all of these press coverts and they have the rules for england, and i think today's local election results were as much to cheer on the tories perspective come they don't help

from some of those problems. in terms of what they're going to do about a second referendum potentially is you obviously need to see the numbers in the s&p will not have a clear picture until later tomorrow. and the fact the prime minister is saying today there's going to be no new scottish referendum, he's not saying never. i think that's worth noting. he sang it would be irresponsible and reckless. this is online we are going to hear morejust a reckless. this is online we are going to hear more just a sense that now was not the time. but as soon as you almost concede, there was a debate prior to this about saying no or not now, you could say there could be one just not now, you enter is when is it not irresponsible? lots of polling suggest that while in scotland many support the idea of an independence there's more hesitancy in terms of referendum and the very near future. but who knows whether it's two years or five years. whether it's two years or five ears. . ~' whether it's two years or five ears. . ~ , .,

discussions with ua for already on this. we are very open to hosting this. we are very open to hosting this final, but it is ultimately a decision for uefa, and it's to mention that the uk is artie got a successful track record with football matches with spectators. we are well placed to do it. i will speak to the secretary of state about this. it's actually in the end about this. it's actually in the end a decision for uefa to make, but given that there are two mac english pubs in that final we look forward to hearing what they have to say. the six premier league sides, who threatened to form the breakaway european super league — have been fined by uefa. arsenal, chelsea, liverpool, manchester city and united, and spurs agreed to make a combined £13 million donation to football across europe. atletico madrid, inter and ac milan have also been punished. however, real madrid, barcelona and juventus are set to face further discipline.

after they were beaten 4—2 by newcastle united, who are now all but safe from relegation. newcastle went ahead whenjoe willock profited from poor defending. paul dummett added another before callum wilson scored twice to make it 4—0. marc albrighton and kelechi iheanacho answered back for leicester but 4—2 it finished. the foxes remain third but will slip to fourth if chelsea beat manchester city tomorrow while newcastle are 12 points clear of the bottom three. i have said for weeks, quietly, i think we would be ok. we got layers fit and that has been the case. people have worked tirelessly to make sure we have got to this position. because four, five, six weeks ago everybody was going for us. we have turned around at the right time. it's what we have to embrace that challenge, — it's what we have to embrace that challenge, everyone has been talking about—

warrington are also through after beating catalan dragons. the man known as the king of clay, rafa nadal, has been knocked out of the madrid open at the quarter final stage he was beaten by germany's alex zverev for the first time on the surface. zverev winning in straights sets against nadal, who was aiming to win a sixth title in the spanish capital. lewis hamilton will be hoping to claim the 100th pole position of his career in qualifying for the spanish grand prix tomorrow. the world champion clocked the quickest time in today's practice sessions in barcelona, a tenth of a second quicker than his mercedes team mate valtteri bottas. england's matt wallace is the joint clubhouse leader in the second round of the wells fargo championship in the united states. wallace is six under par. rory mcilroy is nicely placed just two shots back. the northern irishman went round in 66 to improve his overall score to four under. and it could have been even better. so harsh there. and that's all the sport for now.

hello there. our weather is going to be turning increasingly wet and very unsettled, really, notjust through this weekend but into next week as well. it's all down to this lump of cloud. over the last 36 hours, watch how it has developed from innocuous looking bump into a fully fledged area of low pressure, and this low pressure is a loitering low—pressure. that is one that is going to be hanging around for the next five or six days bringing rain and showers our way. well, first of all the rain. but here it comes, then, through saturday morning. extending in across england, wales and northern ireland. scotland getting off to a bright start, but a cold start with some frost. it is across southern wales, and particularly the brecon beacons where we are going to see the heaviest falls of rain. perhaps over 100 mm of rain this weekend over the high ground. bringing with it threat some localised flooding. after a bright start, the rain will arrive in scotland through the afternoon and here it stays cold. temperatures around seven or 8 degrees. a windy day for all with gales around coasts and hills. eventually turning

milder for many of us.
