Lovely settled weather Cathy, send some of that warmth over here! Yesterday was another boring overcast afternoon with light rain around 16:00. At 20:00 it was calm, dry and overcast. It was the same first thing this morning and hasn't changed since. The glass is steady on 1005mb and the forecast is...

I'll agree that Sunak and the Tories have been comprehensively defeated but I might be out of step a bit in suggesting that Labour have some things to regret and, if possible, correct. The first thing to recognise is that the main reason for the s...
