now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear.om westminster now with our political correspondent helen catt. all eyes on the scale of the tory rebellion. little doubt these will pass and will come into force at midnight in their existing form that is because labour is of standing, not voting because the liberal democrats are not subordinate and the snp are of standing because this will only apply in england it basically comes down to a split in the conservative party and so for government you have to look for more than 170 conservative backbenchers having to rebel and that seems pretty inconceivable. we can be pretty inconceivable. we can be pretty sure it is going to pass but the scale of the rebellion will tell us the scale of the rebellion will tell usa the scale of the rebellion will tell us a bit more about how feeling on the back benches so if you number to look out for when this comes back in the next half an hour. numbers to look out for, 35 conservative mps rebelled on the national lockdown and it rebelled against that.

welcome back to you louise.you are you will notice it and if you haven't got the rain it is coming your way because low pressures driving our weather with this cold front, the blue one, moving towards the east, and the red one, the warm moving northwards. the isobars alone tell you we have gusty winds. the rain has been moving on from the west moving eastwards and northwards as we go through this morning, some of it heavy, some of it will continue to be heavy as it continues to migrate northwards and eastwards getting to the far south—east later on. behind it, there will be limited brightness, a lot of cloud with a few showers but if you follow this around, the centre of the low pressure is here with the rain wrapped around it so more rain coming in through western scotland, northern ireland and later north—west england. these black circles represent the strength of wind gas this afternoon so although we have had gusts up to 60 miles an hour this morning in western areas, it'll still be fairly gusty, even inland
