saturday, outbreaks of rain pushing in from the west, snow over high ground in wales, the north midlands low levels. some snow for parts of northern ireland and southern scotland, as well. gales accompanying this weather feature across some southern and western coasts. there will be some sunshine to be had, as well — temperatures north to south between four and 11 degrees. and then, during saturday night, well, this first area of rain clears away eastwards — still some residual rain and snow moving across scotland — and then a more active weather system moves in from the west. heavy rain and, once again, some strengthening winds. but with that cloud, with the outbreaks of rain, it will be turning really quite mild as we head into the first part of sunday morning. for sunday, we find ourselves between these two weather fronts in an area of windy, cloudy and, at times, wet weather, but mild weather — that could melt some of the snow that we've seen across parts of scotland, that could cause some flooding issues. and through the afternoon, we'll see cloud and rain continuing to affect parts

so i think across parts of northern england, the midlands, and wales, temperatures will actually comethe afternoon, perhaps with some drizzle. a pretty windy day across the board. gusty winds driving showers in from the west across scotland that will be wintry and notjust across the highest ground. certainly cold for scotland — highs ofjust a—5 celsius, ii—i2 further south. now this front looks like it might develop something of a wave wednesday into thursday. when we see one of those, it can slow the front down from clearing the south of the uk. so perhaps a bit more cloud and some rain here through the day. this is of more concern to us, though, this little area of low pressure that will clip scotland overnight wednesday into thursday — a double—pronged attack. some heavier, more persistent snow showers, also some strong gale force winds, perhaps gusting 50—60 mph. could do some damage, will also make it feel particularly raw across northernmost reaches of the uk on thursday. thursday into friday, an area of high pressure actually bumps up from the south, though, and will kill the w

yorkshire and humber and the east midlands just below £300.don, it has a bigger train network but if levelling up, it doesn't mean those bars on the chart will be the same but you would expect them to sort of close together. but what's levelling up close together. but what's levelling up in the white paper doesn't mean is a lot of public money and where we have seen this process exceeding closing gaps around europe, germany and spain, it has meant an awful lot of extra public money and what we have here is in the spending review. so radical ambition, a defining mission but not a huge amount of money that has worked in other countries. . , ., money that has worked in other countries-— money that has worked in other countries. . , . . ~ three more conservative mps have publicly called for the prime minister to resign and have submitted letters of no confidence in him, because of his handling of the row about lockdown parties in downing street. a minimum of 5a is required to trigger a no—confidence vote. here is our political editor, laura kuenss
