:05:31. > :05:32.names lose their seats, Vince Cable, Ed Davey
:05:33. > :05:36.All look like they want to stand again.
:05:37. > :05:38.Southwark and Bermondsey, Hornsey and Wood Green are also
:05:39. > :05:42.hugely important and significant seats for us.
:05:43. > :05:45.You know, we are bound to look at places like Vauxhall and think

:10:42. > :10:44.there will be breaks allowing some sunshine to come through at times,
:10:45. > :10:48.especially in the morning. The cloud will increase and again, a chance of
:10:49. > :10:52.the odd spot of rain may be into the Chilterns. Not amounting to very
:10:53. > :10:56.much. Feeling a bit less fresh tomorrow and temperatures around 15
:10:57. > :11:00.degrees. Friday, a good deal of cloud around and we will keep it
:11:01. > :11:02.going into the weekend as well. A similar story across the UK. Thomas
:11:03. > :11:13.matter has that story. Good evening, before we get to the
:11:14. > :11:16.forecast, I want to show you a map which depicts how dry it has been
