issues but much broader ones about the entire government. i think it's probably quite notable that she says, there's a line at the bottom of her letter which he says we have to get on with fixing the problems that the country wants us to that sounded to me like this government isn't doing that and mainly i could launch a leadership pitch in the future that would suggest i could. our mps now expecting her to take advantage of the opportunity of a personal statement from the backbenchers to the house of commons chamber? i backbenchers to the house of commons chamber? , , , . �*, ., chamber? i suspect so. there's a cou - le chamber? i suspect so. there's a coople of — chamber? i suspect so. there's a couple of rumblings _ chamber? i suspect so. there's a couple of rumblings in _ chamber? i suspect so. there's a couple of rumblings in the - chamber? i suspect so. there's a l couple of rumblings in the papers. chamber? i suspect so. there's a i couple of rumblings in the papers. i think it is the i that says she is set to make a resignation speech on thursday. i suspect she will be a little bit more candid for that and she has as katie referred to earlier, steve baker he is a northern ireland minister said that

he had been instructed and sent out by a number ten to promote the message that liz truss wanted to bring suella braverman back into government in the new year. completely bizarre considering she's filter old role. exactly what role suella braverman might get back in the cabinet remains unclear. it may be that liz truss is dangling a carrot to bring her back in in which case suella braverman might be a little bit more coy about her criticism. but that's if she thinks liz truss will last.— liz truss will last. katie, the front of the _ liz truss will last. katie, the front of the star, _ liz truss will last. katie, the front of the star, pursuing i liz truss will last. katie, the | front of the star, pursuing its campaign against liz letters. said liz is being what does lettuce. let us liz is cut to shreds. is she regarded as wet by her colleagues? she used to in terms of the wider section — she used to in terms of the wider section. she's always accurate but not critics — section. she's always accurate but not critics of the party. i think the number of u—turns means an

the country, particularly for northern ireland and parts of western southwest scotland. the rain probably not too heavy across eastern areas of england. temperatures overnight in the double figures, so it is another mild night. tomorrow, we do have more wet weather on the way. it's from the same area of low pressure but this time the heaviest rain is going to come from this developing part of the weather system across portugal and spain. with the bulk of rain expected to work across france of the uk some uncertainty with the heaviest rain will be tomorrow. almost certainly, yes, across eastern areas of england. however, the system could be more developed. if that happens, we will see the rain notjust affecting eastern england but becoming more widespread across the midlands, northern england and southern scotland. the rain where it does arrive is likely to be heavy, perhaps with a bit of thunder mixed in. the winds a little bit lighter for northern ireland, england and wales but picking up in strengthen scotland. friday, low pressure is still with us, the same one. it can move anywhere

because it's pinned and trapped by this area of high pressure to these. it will continue to throw up heavy showers or bands of rain from the southwest again some of the rain quite heavy with a bit of thunder mixed in. the winds picking up again for northern ireland, england and wales with inland gusts reaching 30, or miles per hour. in brighter moments we could see particularly high temperatures for the time of year with ten 220 in norwich, five degrees about the seasonal average. the weekend, i wouldn't guarantee it stays dry anywhere saturday or sunday. there are still going to be plenty of showers around. it will stay quite breezy and pretty mild once again.
