I have to disagree. The Russian high collapses far faster allowing the upper

trough axis to be further east.

===========

This much is true, and it's particularly reflected in an absence of cold outbreak across Germany early next week. But broadly aside from that (and I think it may be collapsing the Russian High too quickly on this op run) it is progressive next week as became before, and I'm not too sure that it has huge import for overall UK conditions. At least, not much different from what I've bneen forecasting! Maybe I'm thinking in longer range. On another thread, mind you, note that I've suggested eastwards movement of the trough axis.
