11:38 pm
service of this country and the commonwealth. and the effect she's had through what i suppose you call a soft power, soft diplomacy, whether it's worth writing with president reagan or the endless state banquets and the meetings, tours, and everything else. and i think it's very nice, actually, we are in a world where people are very quick to take umbrage an attack other people because they've got a different point of view. and i think this was a really lovely... nobody forced those people to queue for hours and hours in trafalgar square. it was just lovely to see people having a good time, but with that real genuine affection. and we would like to think that the queen felt that it was heartfelt.— that it was heartfelt.

11:41 pm
absolutely clear where his political priorities lie, which is with the environment. and i thought the tone was really good. but looking at this picture of the sunday people, this is a marvellous photograph because queen certain debts queen torrey is certainly doesn't look too amused by brian mae. fine certainly doesn't look too amused by brian mae. ., , ., , ., , brian mae. one does not test one is not amused- — brian mae. one does not test one is not amused- -- _ brian mae. one does not test one is not amused. -- queen _ brian mae. one does not test one is not amused. -- queen victoria. - brian mae. one does not test one is not amused. -- queen victoria. we| not amused. -- queen victoria. we were all wondering _ not amused. -- queen victoria. we were all wondering whether - not amused. -- queen victoria. we were all wondering whether brian . not amused. -- queen victoria. we i were all wondering whether brian mae would _ were all wondering whether brian mae would get _ were all wondering whether brian mae would get back on the roof again, and may— would get back on the roof again, and may be 20 years on, the insurers said, _ and may be 20 years on, the insurers said. sorry _ and may be 20 years on, the insurers said. sorry so— and may be 20 years on, the insurers said, sorry. so as a compromise they went— said, sorry. so as a compromise they went with _ said, sorry. so as a compromise they went with the — said, sorry. so as a compromise they went with the victoria memorial. but that bit— went with the victoria memorial. but that bit worked, as well. the went with the victoria memorial. but that bit worked, as well.— that bit worked, as well. the sunday exress, that bit worked, as well. the sunday express. you've _ that bit worked, as well. the sunday express, you've already _

indeed _ nations, as well, the commonwealth. indeed. taking of the memories, i think that was one of the aims, she wanted to create the memories from these days of celebrations. the front page of the observer says that exactly a long weekend in a carnival of memory. exactly a long weekend in a carnival of memory-— exactly a long weekend in a carnival of memo . , ., ,., ., ,, ,., of memory. they also make the point in the lead article, _ of memory. they also make the point in the lead article, in _ of memory. they also make the point in the lead article, in the _ of memory. they also make the point in the lead article, in the observer i in the lead article, in the observer that this is part of a long goodbye that this is part of a long goodbye that began with her solitary appearance at prince philip's funeral last year. and i think it's not putting a dampener on the proceedings in the success of the jubilee celebrations. but it is a good buy in a sense that we are seeing her withdraw from the big public appearances, and charles and william are doing much, much more, so she wasn't at the derby today, princess and took that role instead.
11:45 pm
—— princess and. we would all have to be 370 to ever see this again. so it is important and it is something that when we come through these dusty old clippings, or our grandchildren do, it will be something that we will remember. stand something that we will remember. and the ro al something that we will remember. and the royal families, the royals the royalfamilies, the royals dispatched around the country to make sure that they were in touch with people and reaching out, something the queen did and delivered for her subjects. that was really important too. bear in mind that such is what's going on in london. �* , that such is what's going on in london. 3 . v that such is what's going on in london. �*, ., �*, ., ., london. it's what's going on elsewhere. _ london. it's what's going on elsewhere, so _ london. it's what's going on elsewhere, so you - london. it's what's going on elsewhere, so you have - london. it's what's going on elsewhere, so you have so l london. it's what's going on - elsewhere, so you have so many street _ elsewhere, so you have so many street parties happening — but somehow this feels materially different. i think people are coming

"tories face crushing midterm —— by election defeat over lies." brute by election defeat over lies." we saw boris by election defeat over lies." 9 saw borisjohnson being booed and heckled as he went to the cathedral yesterday for the service of thanksgiving. according to the sunday times, labour are now 20 points ahead. we've got two by elections coming up, one in wakefield and one in tiverton, and it's widely expected the labour
11:48 pm
party will take wakefield, and the lib dems are in with a fighting chance of getting the tiverton one. there's also rumours swelling around about how many tory mps have submitted letters to sir graham brady, calling for a vote of no—confidence in the prime minister. and there are rumours about 190 mps are likely to vote against him. we won't know for sure until graham brady makes an announcement, and there's also interestingly here, a tory donor who is been quite generous to the conservative party — and he's basically said he won't be doing it again unless borisjohnson goes. as much as borisjohnson would've liked to put everything behind him with the publication of sue gray's report, its quite clear that he's in a worse position than he was before that was published. 50
11:49 pm
he was before that was published. so what are your thoughts on that, nigel? i what are your thoughts on that, niel? ~ , , what are your thoughts on that, niel? ~' , , ., nigel? i think these figures are cuite nigel? i think these figures are quite interesting. _ nigel? i think these figures are quite interesting. nobody- nigel? i think these figures are i quite interesting. nobody actually knows _ quite interesting. nobody actually knows how many letters graham brady has got. _ knows how many letters graham brady has got. nor _ knows how many letters graham brady has got, nor do we know when he will sit down and — has got, nor do we know when he will sit down and actually count them. he may leave _ sit down and actually count them. he may leave it — sit down and actually count them. he may leave it until after the two by elections — may leave it until after the two by elections i— may leave it until after the two by elections. i think what was most interesting about this particular pole with the fact that 56% of people — pole with the fact that 56% of people are saying that partygate is the reason are going against the tories _ the reason are going against the tories in — the reason are going against the tories in wakefield. and that gives the lie that jacob rees—mogg constantly saying nobody cares about partygate. _ constantly saying nobody cares about partygate, people really do. i do think— partygate, people really do. i do think however, borisjohnson being booed _ think however, borisjohnson being booed at— think however, borisjohnson being booed at the service on friday was unfortunate. i think this is the time _ unfortunate. i think this is the time actually not to bring politics into it _ time actually not to bring politics into it he — time actually not to bring politics into it. he is our national leader, the head — into it. he is our national leader, the head of— into it. he is our national leader, the head of government, and i think you should — the head of government, and i think you should have been treated with a

11:51 pm
concert tonight —— lee back. but where i think borisjohnson and the conservative party have so misjudged the public mood is that they've underestimated the story put into decency, integrity and honesty, and what we expect of people in public service. and i think that has come home to roost, and you couldn't see anything more stark than the genuine affection and respect for the queen and what's going on in the conservative party.- and what's going on in the conservative party. nigel, paper does say that — conservative party. nigel, paper does say that what _ conservative party. nigel, paper does say that what happened i conservative party. nigel, paper does say that what happened at | conservative party. nigel, paper. does say that what happened at st. paul's, that borisjohnson was no longer seen by the public as a leader who upholds the british standards. this question of leaders continues because as far as the tories go, who would you replace borisjohnson with? and also, sir keir starmer, is he the right leader for the party for labour? i

11:55 pm
hello. there's rain for many of us in the forecast for the week ahead. in the short term, that rain will come in the form of heavy showers and thunderstorms for parts of england and wales. this is the bigger picture for sunday. an area of high pressure still the dominant feature across scotland and northern ireland, keeping things fine and dry here, but this system pushing up from france will generate some heavy showers and thunderstorms. and through sunday morning, they're likely to be in a zone through parts of wales, the midlands, into east and north—east england, slowly working their way northwards. behind it turning drier, but we're not out of the woods, because further thunderstorms could develop as the cloud breaks to allow some sunshine. we'll see quite a lot of mist and low cloud plaguing many eastern coasts — with the breeze off the north sea, that's going to make it feel quite cool. but across a large swathe of scotland and northern ireland, once again, it's a fine and dry day with temperatures in the high teens, if not low 20s celsius. but feeling quite cool through parts of the midlands and northern england where we have that zone of cloud, showers, and the breeze as well. now as we move into monday, the area of low pressure responsible
11:56 pm
for the showers and thunderstorms slowly starts to pull away north and eastwards. it will take its time, which means we're likely to keep some showers going through monday morning, particularly through parts of eastern england. but gradually easing away, and then for most on monday it's mainly dry, with some bright or sunny spells. could see a few showers just clipping the far south—west of england. temperatures actually feeling a little bit warmer across the southern half of the uk, with a bit more in the way of sunshine, generally in the mid—to—high teens for many. we keep the chance of a few showers lingering through coastal counties as we move into tuesday, but tuesday actually is looking for many a fairly quiet day, with light winds, chance of 1—2 showers across england and southern coastal counties — many will be dry. a bit more in the way of cloud, though, across scotland and northern ireland than we've seen recently, but there will be some breaks in that to allow for some bright or sunny spells. so it's a quiet and quite pleasant day for many. when the sun is out we could see temperatures up to around 20—21 celsius across the southern half of the uk. then we look to the west,
11:57 pm
to our next atlantic front, which will be making its presence felt as we move through wednesday, working its way from west to east and bringing all of us a spell of rain. there will be some showers on either side of that as well. what we'll find through the day is that as it moves slowly north and eastwards, things will turn drier and brighter from the west, so some afternoon sunshine for parts of wales, the midlands, south—west england, and northern ireland. temperatures again mid—to—high teens, so pleasant enough when the sun is out, but that rain may lingerfor a good part of the day across scotland, and certainly feeling cooler than it has done this weekend. now that front moves away, briefly it's drier, but not for long, because here's our next atlantic front through thursday, and this one is likely to generate some quite heavy spells of rain, but also develop a stronger wind, as well. so it turns progressively wet and windier through south—west england, wales, and northern ireland through the morning — and all of that will be gradually working its way north and eastwards, and i think many of us will see quite a heavy spell of rain for a time on thursday, coupled with some strong winds. but they are coming from the south—west, so temperatures still in the mid—to—high teens.
11:58 pm
notice the squeeze in the isobars — we'll keep those strong winds as we head through friday, but then, slowly through the weekend, this area of high pressure just starts to nudge in from the south—west, so the winds ease, most of the rain tends to ease away, as well. so as we move through the weekend and into the following week, things are looking drier. but actually for a good part of next week we've got some rain in the forecast for much of the uk. keeping an eye on the stronger winds as well, particularly for the end of the week, before things start to turn drier and brighter, particularly for england and wales, as we move into the following week. goodbye.
