The week in parliament. It wasnt the best of weeks for the government. First, peers give the brexit bill another kicking. We dont trust the government on this matter. This countrys future should rest with parliament. And not with ministers.

Next day, part of the Budget Unravels within hours, when the chancellor reveals a Shock Tax Rise for the Self Employed. The headlines are not good news. Spite van man. Tories break tax vow. Phil picks a pocket or two. Rob the builder. White van man gets battered by budget. And thats just to name a few. And. Leave . 0r remain . No, not the European Union. Should mps make a discreet exit, to let the builders repair the crumbling houses of parliament . The danger is that if we go for the long option, costs can just spiral.

once again disappointingly cool forjune ii to 14 celsius at the very best. highest values in the south and east once again, 19 or 20 celsius. so as this weather front continues to sink its way steadily south, the cooler air will always sit in place across scotland and perhaps northern fringes of northern ireland. with cloud sinking south to begin with on saturday morning we mightjust start off with double digits, but that means it is going to be a cloudy start across the midlands, stretching down into south wales with outbreaks of light showery rain. that will push its way into the south and east during the afternoon. sunny spells, blustery showers, particularly across north and west facing coasts, so stuck in a rut. and again, those temperatures, similar values to what we ve seen all week, 11 to 14 celsius in the north, perhaps 17 or 18 in the south and east. don t expect that much in the way of significant change as we move into sunday. again, the wind direction, in fact, strengthe
