approach and it was quite well—behaved and singapore children but it was quite an insight that everybody said it was tony blair's charm on that the difference in contrast to the junction of rock, who was rather disdainful and his whole visit and was a bit too grand. in a serious point there is a danger for a prime minister when he or she thinks it's more important to be abroad at a time when there are domestic pressures. it can almost be a sort of sense of they no longer see the domestic political environment in which they are operating and become detached from it. is there a risk that boris johnson runs?— it. is there a risk that boris johnson runs? ~ . , ., ., johnson runs? what is so odd about it is that boris _ johnson runs? what is so odd about it is that boris johnson _ johnson runs? what is so odd about it is that boris johnson was - johnson runs? what is so odd about it is that boris johnson was not - johnson runs? what is so odd about it is that boris johnson was not a i it is that boris johnson was not a very— it is that boris johnson was not a very good — it is that boris johnson was not a very good foreign secretary. i think even _ very good foreign secretary. i think even those — very good foreign secretary. i think even those close to him would admit that, so— even those close to him would admit that, so we _ even those close to him would admit that, so we are in a strange thing that, so we are in a strange thing that we _ that, so we are in a strange thing that we have decided to work this is his strength suddenly when it was not when — his strength suddenly when it was not when he was actually in that

11:43 pm
in dribs and drabs giving details but not the precise details. basically what he is saying if he is quitting because he could not abide by number ten having deliberate breaches of international law. initially this was supposed to be about the government might impose tariffs on imports of steel in order to protect the steel industry, but he has not been on to explain to mps that still is not the only question and in fact there are broader questions about breaches of international laws except according to the ministry of code some years ago, removed the requirement the government has to follow international law so i think we really still require a properly detailed statement from him as to why he felt he had to resign. and of course number ten is briefing that he resign because he was at the end of his tether and just could not abide by. i think we require more explanation from him and at the
11:44 pm

11:49 pm
decades between people, the income of those in the top level and the income of those at the lower level and of course the expectations of people. most people tend were not property owners, and it was only getting on the property letter. you can get a property at a reasonable price. now course in london particularly for the rest of the country property prices have gone up enormously and young people cannot afford property and their expectations have gone up a lot more. and that is factor here that needs to be taken into account, and what clark is doing is he and his reinforcing what andrew bailey the governor has been saying, you must do after much money and you must not have income rises and in the state government could stop pay hikes with that they don't have to mechanisms now. the only thing they could
11:50 pm

a lot of that when we could not leave our homes, and it seems to have pushed this song right up to the top of the charts. it must have been forgotten, and surely would have been forgotten, it was very great and he has emerged and gone to the top and of course this is the sort of success, i know rosamond is very young but this is the sort of success that people like me will always have been hoping for with a book that i wrote 30 years ago would become the number one bestseller. just like fly fishing byjr hartley or whatever the equivalent is by you. in politics, the long want that i can remember of a gap between somebody being elected first and then losing it and getting back in with paul feiler and, he was a liberal i'm at the time he came back with a democrat because he was the same city and he had an 18 year interregnum. but 44 years between

across parts of east anglia, through the london area as well. whereas further north and west, with these westerly winds, we had some cooler conditions. temperatures in western scotland, for example, no higher than 16 degrees. and more and more of us are going to get into those cooler conditions as we head through saturday. we've got this frontal system pushing southwards, a cold front, introducing that cooler air. so, these are the temperatures as we start saturday morning. 9—10 degrees for scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england. whereas further south, we're still in the grip of those warm, even hot conditions. 18 to start the morning in london. and across this south east corner, where we see spells of sunshine, it will be another hot day. across parts of the west country, wales, the midlands, east anglia, we'll see cloud bringing outbreaks of heavy, potentially thundery rain at times. to the north of that, some spells of sunshine. showers into north west scotland, maybe the odd one for northern ireland. temperatures for most of us 15—16, maybe up to 18 degrees. whereas down towards the south, highs of 27—29 once again.
11:57 pm
and with that heat, well, we could see the odd thunderstorm popping up across the south east of england as we go on into the evening, and then through the early hours of sunday, we see this heavy rain still swarming across the channel islands and the south west of england. and again, that could produce some thunder and lightning into sunday morning. so, there certainly will be some thunderstorms rumbling around, mostly just to the south of us on sunday. some could just clip into southern england, but for most of us, sunday is a mainly fine day, some spells of sunshine, some areas of patchy cloud, just the odd shower in the north. but with these northerly winds, we're cutting off the supply of heat from the continent, so temperatures by this stage 14—19 degrees. it will feel significantly cooler. now, for some, those temperatures will climb again as we head through next week. a bit of rain at times, decent amount of sunshine, but it certainly won't be as hot as it has been.
