Rishi Sunak latest news: Tories must win by-election this week to 'keep flame of hope alive' - The Telegraph

Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party must win at least one of the two by-elections this week to keep their general election hopes alive, a leading polling expert has suggested. 

Professor Sir John Curtice said it would be “rather useful” for the Tories to hang onto either Tamworth or Mid Bedfordshire “in terms of keeping the flame of hope alive” that they can defeat Labour at the next national contest. 

The Tories are defending a majority of more than 24,000 in Mid Bedfordshire and more than 19,000 in Tamworth. 

But Labour, riding high in national opinion polls with a steady double digit lead over the Tories, are hoping to deliver an upset when voters go to the ballot box in the two constituencies on Thursday. 

Sir John told the Daily Mail: “I think we expect a fairly substantial fall in the Conservative vote in both constituencies. But whether that will result in the Conservatives losing either or both seats is uncertain. The best that the Tories can hope for in Tamworth is to hang on narrowly and the best they can hope for in Mid Bedfordshire is that the opposition vote is split.”

He added: “If the Tories hang on to one of the two seats, certainly in terms of keeping the flame of hope alive among the parliamentary party [for the next election], that would be rather useful. But losing them both, given the difficulties for the opposition of winning these two seats, would be a bad night.”

Met Office issues weather warnings for heavy rain and strong winds - The Independent

The Met Office has issued several severe weather warnings as wet and windy conditions are set to take over the country in the coming week with the “possibility of disruptive rainfall”.

The forecaster is warning of “significant disruption”, especially in eastern and central Scotland, where exceptionally high rainfall is expected to hit areas where there is already saturated ground.

The change in weather comes just days after southern parts of the country were enjoying the Indian Summer sunshine, with the hottest October day in five years recorded in Kew Gardens as temperatures reached 25.8C.

The unsettled weather is expected to become widespread from the middle of the week, with wet and increasingly windy conditions moving in from the southwest of England and Wales on Tuesday.

These conditions will spread across the UK through Wednesday, with an area of high pressure over Scandinavia causing fronts to stall over Scotland, which was already battered by heavy rainfall and flooding this month. This stalling is anticipated to lead to persistent heavy rainfall in the region through Thursday and Friday.

“Many parts of the UK will see a very unsettled spell of weather through the second half of the coming week, into next weekend,” deputy chief meteorologist Steven Keates said.

“A number of areas have the potential to see a lot of rain as well as strong winds at times. Of particular concern at the moment is eastern and central Scotland where some exceptional rainfall totals could build up, falling on ground already saturated after recent heavy rainfall.”

“This could lead to some significant and widespread disruption."

Weather Outlook

Monday: A chilly start will give way to a cold day with sunny spells, except for scattered light showers in the far north and southeast. Breezy conditions are expected in the north.

Tuesday: Mostly dry with bright or sunny spells for many regions. Later in the day, it will turn windier from the southwest with rain likely in southwest England and southwest Wales.

Wednesday to Friday: Increasingly unsettled conditions with heavy outbreaks of rain and stronger winds, especially over higher ground. Temperatures will return to average, and milder nights are anticipated.

In its long term forecast for the weekend, the Met Office predicts the start of the period to be “very unsettled across much of the UK”, with parts of northeast Britain expected to experience heavy, persistent rain accompanied by strong to gale force winds.

Further heavy rain and strong winds may also impact parts of southern Britain.

The following week might see a slight reduction in the unsettled conditions, with the driest weather expected in the northeast and wettest conditions likely in the southwest.

Temperatures are expected to remain around average, with fluctuations between milder and colder spells throughout the forecast period.

Gaza: James Cleverly says UK pushing for Rafah crossing into Egypt to open - BBC

By Christy Cooney & Sam Francis

BBC News

The UK has "not been successful" yet in opening the Rafah crossing into Egypt to help British nationals leave Gaza, the foreign secretary has said.

British nationals have been told to be ready to use the south Gaza crossing - currently the only route out.

Hamas, Egypt, and Israel all exercise control over who can pass through.

James Cleverly said he was working with Israel, Egypt and "other leading political voices in the region" to open the crossing.

Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Cleverly said the gate was key to evacuating British nationals and providing "humanitarian support for the people of Gaza".

The US government is also working to try to open the Rafah crossing to allow Palestinian-Americans to leave. A statement said on Saturday that officials had been working with Egypt, Israel, and Qatar for a number of hours to try to open it.

A US State Department spokesperson said its citizens were being told to move towards Rafah because "there may be very little notice if the crossing opens and it may only open for a limited time".

The last week has seen the supply of water, food, and energy to Gaza cut off, prompting international concern about the potential for a humanitarian disaster.

British nationals are being urged to move south as directed by the Israeli government and have been sent messages telling them to be on alert in case the crossing is opened.

The Israeli government has told the 1.1 million civilians in Gaza's north to move south ahead of a ground offensive intended to target Hamas, which killed more than 1,300 people in a series of attacks in Israel last weekend.

At least 17 British nationals are confirmed dead or missing following the incursions. The UK government believes up to 60,000 British nationals are in Israel or Gaza.

A third UK government charter flight departed Israel on Friday.

Under questioning from the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire, Mr Cleverly declined to say if the UK believed actions by Israel had been a breach of international law.

Mr Cleverly was shown quotes from the UN claiming Israel had put Gaza under "siege" - a breach of the Geneva Convention - and the Refugee Council, which accused Israel of a "war crime" by forcibly moving civilians out of north Gaza, ahead of an expected military attack.

Responding, Mr Cleverly said: "There are a number of other quotes which you didn't show, which don't agree with them."

Pushed again, he said: "The UK government is absolutely committed to the adherence of international humanitarian law.

"And when we see breaches of that we raise that including with Israel."

In a statement late on Saturday, the UK's Foreign Office said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi about the situation earlier this week, while Mr Cleverly was in contact with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry.

The in-laws of Scotland's first minister Humza Yousaf are in Gaza, where they were visiting relatives last week.

Speaking to the BBC earlier, an emotional Mr Yousaf said he had endured a "very difficult night" after his mother-in-law called to "say her goodbyes" when they were warned of an impending rocket attack. The attack did not materialise.

Mr Yousaf said he "prayed to God" they would get out alive and called for an immediate ceasefire to allow for a humanitarian corridor. The SNP conference this week unanimously passed an emergency motion sending solidarity to victims in both Israel and Gaza.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will also host King Abdullah of Jordan on Sunday to discuss the conflict.

King Abdullah's office said his visit to London was part of a European tour intended to "rally international support to stop the war on Gaza".

He will also travel to Rome, Berlin, and Paris for meetings to discuss the "dangerous and deteriorating situation in Gaza" and the "need to facilitate the provision of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians".
