We'll not see labour in power for 25- 30 years.

Yellow warning of rain

Issued at:

Valid from:

A developing area of rain is expected to reach the south of England early on Thursday morning, before pushing north across much of southern UK during the day. The rainfall is likely to be heavy and thundery at times, with the potential for torrential downpours in places.

The public should be aware of a significant risk of very localised disruption to travel due to surface water flooding. Lightning may be an additional hazard.
An area of low pressure is expected to develop just to the northwest of Spain in the next 12 to 24 hours. This system is then expected to push north across Biscay and into the south of the UK early on Thursday. With very warm air entrained into the system, locally heavy and thundery rain is likely to develop as the system pushes across parts of England and Wales. 15 to 30 mm of rain is possible in in 6 to 12 hours, with as much as 50 mm possible very locally by the end of Thursday.

The development of this system is very complex, and uncertainty in the details of this event is relatively high. As such this warning will be updated in the coming days as confidence increases.

Is it any wonder that Corbyn is leading?

Look at the other muppets, what do they have to offer the average working/non working stiff?

Jeremy Corbyn hints at Russia ties as he surges to 53pc in Labour leadership poll

New polling gives Jeremy Corbyn the support of more than half of those with a vote, while the leftwinger hints at closer ties with Russia

Britain should create closer ties with Russia, Jeremy Corbyn has hinted as he surged ahead in the latest Labour leadership poll.


Mr Corbyn, who takes 53% of support in the latest YouGov polling, told Russia Today that Britain should treat international opponents with more respect.


Mr Corbyn told the channel: "What is security? Is security the ability to bomb, maim, kill, destroy, or is security the ability to get on with other people and have some kind of respectful existence with them?"



The leftwinger now has the support of more than half of those with a vote in the Labour leadership contest, the new opinion poll suggested.


Stark warnings from a string of senior party figures that choosing the veteran left-winger would be catastrophic for its chances of returning to power appeared to have had little effect.

Good Morning.Corbyn and the Labour Party are a perfect fit and much better for the electorate to have a simple and straightforward choice between Marxism and Capitalism.

So the DOW opens up just shy of 1% and absolutely zilch happens on the FTSE & banks.

Had that been 1% down then we all know how the UK would have reacted.

Ah well, just another day in the increasing divergence between the two indices.
