difference to people. how long they think they've got, how long can they say to people, we know it's tough, but bear with us. and the problem i think they've got is that some theories they're talking about are really quite difficult to sort out. let's be blunt about it. public transport, prisons, you could go on and on. that is a huge lot of work to do. i don't know how there getting themselves before they start... blue back at the risk of sounding silos.- blue back at the risk of soundin: silos. . . , ., sounding silos. what is going on in keir— sounding silos. what is going on in keir starmer's - sounding silos. what is going on in keir starmer's downing| on in keir starmer's downing street— on in keir starmer's downing street and why is everyone briefing _ street and why is everyone briefing and linking me and chris— briefing and linking me and chris about sue gray. please carry on! _ chris about sue gray. please

is expected to be across parts of northeast england. over high ground, it is possible that some places could see 80 to possibly 100mm of rain. for most places, tuesday has been spent in this gap between weather systems, but more cloud waiting in the wings out in the atlantic. that is our next weather system — already starting to throw some cloud into the southwest of england. a bit of showery rain here, maybe a few showers running eastwards across southeastern parts of england as well. this band of cloud moving southwards out of scotland into northern england, afew showers with that. where we see clear skies through the night in parts of scotland could drop down to freezing. we could also see some fog patches, say, across parts of the midlands, as we start tomorrow morning through tomorrow, we see this area of cloud and rain pushing across the south—west of england up into wales, the midlands, some showers moving across the southeast. northern england tending to cloud over through the day, northern ireland not doing too badly for some sunshine and for scotland, scotland's sunny spells, just one or two showers, particularly in the far north where it will be a cold day again. 9—10 degrees, even further south, iii—15 or 16 at best. and then through wednesday night into thursday, this low spins its way

eastwards and this frontal system here becoming slow moving across northern england. so, that is why we have some cause for concern across northeast england. already met office yellow warning has been issued, particularly in spots exposed to this brisk northeasterly wind. so, the rain really piling up over high ground here. pretty wet at times as well for northern ireland, southwest scotland, the north and to the south of that, sunny spells and showers. and then, as our area of low pressure continues to roll away eastwards during thursday night, our band of rain starts to sink its way southwards and eastwards and as it clears behind that rain band, well, we all get into this northerly wind all the way from the arctic. a cold feel to the weather for the end of the week, particularly where you're exposed to the strength of that wind. and then for the weekend, well, mainly fine through saturday, but we will see heavy rain into the west on sunday.
