pensioners. their number crunching going on inside number 11 is notjust about the state of the nation's finances, it is a political calculation as well. underthe it is a political calculation as well. under the rules the government has set for itself that is a limited amount of money for the chancellor to spend. do people want to see more going to public services, or more cash in their own back pocket? while the government is today announcing £360 million for manufacturing, investing in medicines research and zero carbon aircraft, laboursay medicines research and zero carbon aircraft, labour say they would have aircraft, labour say they would have a focus on getting young people into work, with careers advisers, mental health support, and new technical excellence, just to cut youth unemployment. businesses say those are welcome, but there is more that could be done to encourage growth. we would like to see rising tide lift all boats, measures and the budget such as changing vat on international visitors, changes to the vat threshold, changes to business rates that can help all businesses grow and prosper. whatever the chancellor chooses to do on wednesday, the tax burden is historically high. it is pretty much impossible to imagine that he could do anything to prevent households from paying more tax than in 2019, and that may come with the political price. george gallery has arrived in westminster where he is being sworn in as rochdale's mp. the controversial politician is representing the workers party of great britain. his by—election campaign tapped into public anger over the war in gaza, lobbied against israeli military action. the prime minister called his victory beyond alarming. 0ur political correspondent gave us his thoughts on what the newly elected mp can expect from the houses of parliament. when he said he didn't quite love the people and it's quite so much, that feeling, believe me, is mutual. george galloway goes in there as the only workers party mp, he will have no natural allies. there will be some people, perhaps suspended by the mainstream parties that he might wish to work with. he will hope to work with a wider group of mps on one specific issue, the conflict in the middle east, but it will be difficult for him to build working relationships with many people in the other parties, not least because he has spent the entire campaign denouncing them. for example he has talked about the closeness of rishi sunak and keir starmer. he said that he despises the prime minister. the prime minister said it was beyond alarming that george galloway has been elected. george galloway also said he would speak keir starmer, leader of the labour party, job 100 times more difficult. you can see already what the atmosphere is going to be like in the house of commons. that is all for now. here is the weather. some of us got off to a frosty and also a foggy start to the day. that's now lifting quite nicely and most of us will have a dry day, but there is some rain in the forecast. we've got a weather front draped across the northern isles that will bring rain on and off through the day. and also rain which has been coming in from the southwest that's moving northwards and eastwards. but in between we do have the sunshine. at times the rain in shetland will drift towards 0rkney and we also have the rain which has been coming into the southwest, pushing northeastwards with cloud building ahead of it. and the wind picking up in the southwest and the english channel. temperatures, seven to about 11 degrees. through this evening and overnight this band of rain continues to push northwards and eastwards, fragmenting in doing so. follow the curl round, you can see the rain coming back into northern ireland by the end of the night. and we also have some heavy showers which could be thundery in the channel islands, drifting in the direction of hampshire. these are our overnight lows, but actually as the cloud and rain pushes northwards and eastwards, temperatures will rise by a degree or so. so, into tomorrow, we've got this weather front draped across us. we also have high pressure out towards the east and as the weather front bumps into the high pressure, it really is a fairly weak affair. so, we've got some showers across the far northeast of scotland, a lot of dry weather. and then we've got some showery rain moving out of northern ireland into western scotland, western parts of england and wales. the showers that came into hampshire overnight look likely to drift over towards the southeast. they could be heavy and thundery. and these are our temperatures, 6 to 12 degrees, but windy through the north channel and western scotland. as we head into wednesday, high pressure is effectively blocking all these fronts coming in from the atlantic. there will be quite a bit of cloud at times across eastern scotland and eastern parts of england. push further west, this is where we'll see the lion's share of the sunshine. but having said that, there will be some showers and a bit more cloud at times across northern ireland and also south—west england. temperatures, six to about 13 degrees, and it will be breezy in northern ireland and also western areas too. towards the end of the working week there'll be a lot of dry weather around. will be one or two showers at times in the west. but what you find is after chilly starts, these temperatures are roughly where they should be at this stage in march. live from london, this is bbc news. a state of emergency is declared in the capital of
