2:09 pm
that to actually come to the same conclusion again and spend a lot of money on it, if they see actually, well, hang on a sec. there are two, three, 4 or 5 people there who we ought to have fined and we didn't. 5 people there who we ought to have fined and we didn't . that's have fined and we didn't. that's a matter people a different matter now. people seem be divided about this at seem to be divided about this at home because on the one hand, people are writing to me saying this is clear. the double standards— this is clear. the double standards ,_ this is clear. the double standards , but- i the double standards , but also that it standards, but also that it pees— standards, but also that it pewes tne— standards, but also that it proves the government didn't tettewe— proves the government didn't tettewe tn— proves the government didn't believe in the— proves the government didn't believe in the in— proves the government didn't believe in the in their own nntes— believe in the in their own nntes en— believe in the in their own nntes en at— believe in the in their own rules or at least- believe in the in their own rules or at least these people newetttng— rules or at least these people newetttng tn— rules or at least these people revelling in having this christmas— revelling in having this christmas bash clearly didn't tettewe— christmas bash clearly didn't believe that— christmas bash clearly didn't believe that this— christmas bash clearly didn't believe that this virus was going— believe that this virus was getng te— believe that this virus was getng te tit— believe that this virus was going to kill them, make them trep— going to kill them, make them tnep teat.— going to kill them, make them tnep teat. we— going to kill them, make them drop dead. no i— going to kill them, make them drop dead. no i think that that is drop dead. no i think that that ts stanttng.— drop dead. no i think that that is startling, though. ytiti is startling, though. yes. but tnat— is startling, though. yes. but ttat tn— is startling, though. yes. but ttat tn a— is startling, though. yes. but that in a sense is a separate debate, isn't it, that whether or not the rules should have been been enforced and these particular ones at the time, you could you could meet other people outdoors. you couldn't meet them indoors , as which was meet them indoors, as which was the alleged offence they committed at the time. so i think that that matter really now is genuinely for the covid inquiry to decide whether those

2:41 pm
and i think every single person i knew, including good friends of like johnson, who of mine like alan johnson, who was said that was home secretary, said that the office has been totally the home office has been totally and unfit purpose as and utterly unfit for purpose as long anybody remember. long as anybody can remember. now, here now, what's happened here is you're bye you're absolutely right. bye bye. older cases. bye. working on the older cases. and forget , these aren't and don't forget, these aren't necessarily cases. necessarily complicated cases. these which have these are cases which have been appealed. where have appealed. and where people have actually know, i so actually you know, i know so many where have a many cases where you have a refusal and then come up refusal and then then come up with another category. so it's very that. look, we're very often that. so look, we're going have to bite bullet going to have to bite the bullet in country and recognise we in this country and recognise we need cards so that need to have id cards so that the pool isn't there, the economic pool isn't there, because the you can because at the moment you can come to this country, you can work, nobody's going to do anything nobody's anything about it. nobody's going have the going to ask if you have the right here. at the right to work here. and at the end two years you can go to end of two years you can go to tirana and build a palace. so we need that. we also need to process asylum applicants early and all and efficiently because in all honesty, there are certain heartbreaking people heartbreaking cases of people who but to who have no alternative but to flee their homeland. and i think there's a civilised country we should those should actually welcome those people. prepared to people. but i'm not prepared to actually country down actually see my country go down the for 23 year old the tubes. for 23 year old single men from albania who want

2:55 pm
rain warnings in force across many there be some many areas. there could be some torrential of rain, torrential downpours of rain, thunderstorms, lightning and hail the coming hail possible over the coming few showers will tend few hours. the showers will tend to merge into this longer band of this evening and of rain through this evening and overnight, northwards of rain through this evening and overniinorthern northwards of rain through this evening and overniinorthern englandiwards of rain through this evening and overniinorthern england intois across northern england into scotland, potentially 40, 60mm of rain falling in just three hours. really, some surface water issues are possible . water issues are possible. turning drier to the south of that, but many areas holding up around 16, 15 c. so still quite around 16, 15 c. so still quite a humid night. a wet start to monday across scotland as this area of rain pushes its way across. still some surface water issues possible on monday morning . dry and brighter start morning. dry and brighter start to the new working week elsewhere. but the sunshine will help those showers to develop as we head into the afternoon. again, the odd rumble of thunder is particularly is possible, particularly perhaps of northern perhaps across areas of northern ireland. little bit more ireland. a little bit more sunshine in between those showers tomorrow, though, compared temperatures compared to sunday. temperatures climbing highs of 22 to 26 c. climbing to highs of 22 to 26 c. as we head into the evening, though, showers will gradually fade their way off, taking a little bit of time across
2:56 pm
northern and areas. but northern and western areas. but eventually clear spells developing isolated mist developing some isolated mist and fog patches forming a bit of cloud lingering across the far south—east. that might make it again, a bit of a humid night to come here into the start of tuesday. the potential we tuesday. the potential that we see band of very see again, another band of very heavy pushing way heavy rain pushing its way across areas. there is across southern areas. there is still uncertainty in still some uncertainty in regards to the exact details of that. do keep up to date with that. so do keep up to date with the forecast. low pressure that has though, is has been with us, though, is steadily progressing way steadily progressing its way northwards. going northwards. and that's going to allow of high pressure allow this area of high pressure to in a bit more to build its way in a bit more as we head towards thursday. so as we head towards thursday. so a to come on thursday a drier day to come on thursday and also little bit less and also a little bit less humid. your day by bye .
