figure of the proportion of conservative members, i know we don't know the overall number, but the proportion of conservative members predominantly from the south of england, the greater london area, mostly over the age of 60 and mostly white. and it's interesting because we had a more ethnically diverse leadership contest then we've had in any political party as far as i can recall, a uk wide a political party, and we also have a population that is not predominately over 60, white, and living in the southeast of england. so it'll be a challenge for whoever wins to potentially bridge that divide, particularly when you look at opinion polls which aren't encouraging for the conservatives at the moment. encouraging for the conservatives at the moment-— the moment. possibly. ithink the tory membership _ the moment. possibly. ithink the tory membership have _ the moment. possibly. ithink the tory membership have a - the moment. possibly. ithink the tory membership have a choice i tory membership have a choice between — tory membership have a choice between their third female prime

11:40 pm
and keep me on the straight and narrow, which is not easy. i'm going to the telegraph, roger, and it's the second home loans. it seems to me, moving from one subject to the other, this says that second home loans are being pulled, the leeds building society is responding to signals sent by the government about wanting to discourage second homeownership.— wanting to discourage second homeownership. wanting to discourage second homeownershi. ., �* ., homeownership. you've caught me on the hot slide, — homeownership. you've caught me on the hot slide, because _ homeownership. you've caught me on the hot slide, because i'm _ homeownership. you've caught me on the hot slide, because i'm not - homeownership. you've caught me on the hot slide, because i'm not look. the hot slide, because i'm not look at that one. the hot slide, because i'm not look at that one-— at that one. harriet, have you looked at _ at that one. harriet, have you looked at it? _ at that one. harriet, have you looked at it? i— at that one. harriet, have you looked at it? i have, - at that one. harriet, have you looked at it? i have, yes. - at that one. harriet, have you looked at it? i have, yes. fullj looked at it? i have, yes. full marks for— looked at it? i have, yes. full marks for your _ looked at it? i have, yes. full. marks for your honesty, james, looked at it? i have, yes. full- marks for your honesty, james, you marks for your honesty, james, you get brownie points for that. carry on, carry it. i get brownie points for that. carry on. carry it— on, carry it. i did my homework. this is a really _ on, carry it. i did my homework. this is a really interesting - on, carry it. i did my homework. this is a really interesting story, and it's— this is a really interesting story, and it's not— this is a really interesting story, and it's not entirely clear what the motivation — and it's not entirely clear what the motivation is behind these societies. it's become the first major— societies. it's become the first major lender to pull its mortgages for second — major lender to pull its mortgages for second homes that are not let out. for second homes that are not let out they— for second homes that are not let out. they say they want to focus

11:42 pm
those being left empty and those being lat. so somebody owns it but they never live in it, it's been let to someone else — you could argue that's a good thing. 0n the other hand, if they are being used, even as holiday lets, that means they are occupied maybe a dozen weeks of the year, some holidays in easter and christmas, which is a huge waste of housing stock. but the leads building society seems to be taking almost a government quote from them, richard fear and the chief executive says, "second homes reduce the number of properties available at people to live at a time when housing supply in the uk is inadequate to meet demand and needs to be increased."— to be increased." you've hit the nail on the _ to be increased." you've hit the nail on the head _ to be increased." you've hit the nail on the head there, - to be increased." you've hit the nail on the head there, and - to be increased." you've hit the - nail on the head there, and cornwall and in places like the pique district, areas like that where people have second homes in the
11:43 pm
cotswolds and things like that, when they are unoccupied for a long period of time, that's not good to see. but obviously the huge issue is that we've got a limited amount of houses for people to buy, and that is a big problem. so this is tricky but there clearly needs to be — this seems to be looked at and honed in on. for me, housing as a whole needs to stop push the agenda. things always seem to leapfrog it in terms of importance, and we talk about it for a little bit and politicians say a little bit about it, then they forget about it and nothing happens. i don't know where you sit on this as a politicaljournalist, but where's all the financial support, the extra help, all the bits and pieces government has done over the last 20 years or longer? what effect does it had? the only thing i can see is that the supply has remained behind demand, which means people like me who own property have ended
11:44 pm
up like me who own property have ended up seeing those properties rise in value, are deeply having done nothing more than live in them because of the other consequences in other parts of the market. it’s other parts of the market. it's intriguing. — other parts of the market. it's intriguing, isn't it? it's hard to see the — intriguing, isn't it? it's hard to see the trickle—down effect of those policies. _ see the trickle—down effect of those policies. i_ see the trickle—down effect of those policies, i can think of some friends _ policies, i can think of some friends who are key workers who have benefited _ friends who are key workers who have benefited from key workers needs to buy homes — benefited from key workers needs to buy homes. i can think of other friends — buy homes. i can think of other friends who thought they'd be able to get— friends who thought they'd be able to get onto the property ladder, but they can't— to get onto the property ladder, but they can't find a house low enough value that — they can't find a house low enough value that they could benefit from that, _ value that they could benefit from that, even — value that they could benefit from that, even though they've studiously saved _ that, even though they've studiously saved so _ that, even though they've studiously saved. so it's hard to see the trickle—down, but there is clear political— trickle—down, but there is clear political impetus behind announcing his policies. it's like catnip to young — his policies. it's like catnip to young voters, giving them that chance — young voters, giving them that chance to — young voters, giving them that chance to get on the property ladder. — chance to get on the property ladder, whether or not the policies in reality— ladder, whether or not the policies in reality actually help remains to be seen — in reality actually help remains to be seen. its in reality actually help remains to be seen. �* , ,. in reality actually help remains to be seen. ~ , y., ., in reality actually help remains to be seen. a ., in reality actually help remains to beseen. a ., , be seen. as you would say, james, don't promise _ be seen. as you would say, james, don't promise what _ be seen. as you would say, james, don't promise what you _ be seen. as you would say, james, don't promise what you can't - don't promise what you can't deliver. james, take us to the wagatha christie trial. lats

11:57 pm
actually, for much of the country on saturday morning. but for the northern half of the uk, this is where we've got the thickest of the cloud, and we're seeing most of the rain. through the morning, though, it should become drier and brighter in northern ireland and scotland, some sunny spells in the afternoon. still some rain for england and wales — most of it will be across northern parts of england and north wales. further south, it's generally dry, and there'll be some sunshine, as well. another warm day to come through much of the midlands, particularly in the southeast and east anglia, temperatures 26—27 celsius. could make a warm 22—23 in eastern scotland with some sunshine in the afternoon. but there's a lot of cloud heading our way from the atlantic overnight, continuing into sunday, perhaps bringing some more rain — that's more likely across england and wales, although it could prove to be rather hit—and—miss. and with that damper weather moving southwards, it'll dry off with more sunshine across north wales and northern england. may stay dry all day in scotland and northern ireland, slightly cooler and fresher here. but again, little or no rain, really, ithink, across the far south of england,
11:58 pm
and it should be quite warm at wembley for the women's euro final. a lot of cloud here — hopefully we've got something to cheer about by the end of the day. heading into the beginning of next week, though, we've got some more weather fronts heading our way from the atlantic, and that potentially will bring some more rain. having said that, many places will start dry on monday, and there'll be some sunshine around, too. but the cloud will be thickening up from the west — that'll bring with it some rain. at the moment, mostly across northern ireland, wales, moving over the irish sea later in the day to the northwest of england, and into the southwest of scotland. still dry though, towards the southeast, and temperatures here again into the mid—20s.
