the chance of rain particularly with all these weather fronts around. on friday there will still be some sunshine around but more showers will break out and they contain heavy and thundery. drifting across northern england and into scotland. a rain arriving in the south west of england and wales. temperatures will be lower on friday, 21 and 22. still some warm weather for eastern parts of england if we miss the heavy showers. but instead of high pressure that has brought warm weather and sunshine, low pressure will be in charge this weekend, bringing stronger wind and most of the rain across the western side of the rain across the western side of the uk. it could be heavy and thundery. looking drier, sunnier and warmer on the eastern side of the uk. thanks, darren. and that s bbc news at ten on wednesday the 22nd ofjune. there s more analysis of the day s main stories on newsnight with mark urban, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one a
into double digits presumably. i into double digits presumably. i know when i think some of these are totally unrealistic. i don t think you or i have had a 12% pay rise this year, and i don t think many in the private actor will have either, because inflation was not anticipated to be this high at the beginning of the year. the fact is i think the government is right. if you look at the raw economics, you cannot have a wage price spiral because that means inflation will be sustained and continue for much longer because the office for budget responsibility says that they expect it to start trending downwards towards the end of this year. next year, i should say. but if you have the rises, that will go on for much longer period. the economy can t really handle that. what martin said about the triple locked, the reason the tories are doing this is not because they love pensioners, which they do, but it s because pensioners
