like they have an answer. and rishi sunak is talking about a couple of hundred additional pounds and liz truss is cuts and tax cuts won't help the people who need the help the most. and so, i hope that in this time, to be quite a lot of pressure on the government to come up with a plan and that is about supporting people, boosting their income so they can understand notjust energy but the cost of energy but also mentioning the markets in the press control and it should do the job of trying to protect and feels like at the moment, they've got it wrong in spring to much emphasis on protecting the market and not protecting the market and not protecting people and that is to change. they are putting their weight behind liz truss, there choice and after

a touch lower in the countryside first thing. lots of hot sunshine on the cards for wednesday, that weather front bringing a bit more cloud to the far northwest, bit of rain for the western isles, perhaps. but temperatures in england, scotland and northern ireland in the mid—20s, but down towards the south and southeast, 30—31 degrees pretty widely. then, from thursday onwards, that�*s when that amber extreme heat warning kicks in across a good part of england and into eastern wales as well. but wherever you are, you can feel the heat and disruption due to the those high temperatures in terms of health problems, potentially transport problems as well. so, thursday, another hot, dry day away from the northwest of scotland, and temperatures widely in the mid—to—high 20s in the north, mid—30s in the south. 34, possibly 35 degrees on thursday, could be even a degree or so harder than that as we head on into friday. again, a bit more cloud and rain for the western isles, highlands, northern isles as well where it�*s a little bit cooler, but most of us baking in that hot sunshine, so the mid—20s to mid—30s

during the course of friday. if we zoom into the hottest spots — probably across parts of central and southen england, just into wales as well — somewhere here could see 36 degrees on friday. and looking towards the weekend, perhaps a degree or so hotter than that into saturday. so, warm sunshine once again lasting for many of us through the course of the weekend. we are hopeful that things will start to change a little bit later on sunday, particularly overnight into monday. a few thunderstorms developing across france, which could really do with the rainfall, and then they look like they will develop more widely across the uk, but still quite a lot of uncertainty at this stage about exactly when and if those thunderstorms are coming. but we�*re hopeful that, into next week, things will start to turn cooler with an increasing chance of rain. bye— bye.
