that is in make up for miles east of the intersection there of 3.49 in midland continuing to the north we see more of that activity this tornado touching down as well. near howard and for the north even more so just numerous tornadoes coming down along that line reports of trees coming down near a dickens and more that activity continuing for the north and back maybe even stronger in oklahoma, some of these that are now pushing to that area could cause some serious damage as they move on through is there is the kind of situation where you get the large huge tornadoes. possibly a category 5 or larger as the systems continue to work their way on through we are going to see this a storm system just slowly work its way by and that's what's dangerous. the threat from tornadic activity not going to and tonight it will continue through the day tomorrow you can see right through the morning that whole frontal boundary finally making its way to the east, but it is going to cause problems all along that line and certainly a scary night ahead for many of the folks that live there. here we've got

i think the positive for us tonight is that we have made some very good inroads in the midlands and theularly into the heartlands of labour territory and the situation for labour is very, very challenging and difficult in the midlands and north because of the way in which they haven't had clarity in terms of brexit. we can't take anything other from these results other than people are frustrated and people, whether they are leave or remain, and we saw this from the results in sunderland, i think people want their politicians to get on with it, they wa nt politicians to get on with it, they want their politicians to deliver brexit and they want to get something over the line and that brings me back to members of parliament, perhaps reflecting over the weekend and just thinking, what is the easiest way to achieve that? clearly there is already a package on the table and a part two to that which would then require debate and discussion, but that is there and i think members of parliament need to look at that over the weekend. thank you very much. a quick look at the scoreboard. very quick
