  4. Matt looks on the bright sidepublished at 07:58 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2019

    We've had some sympathy for weather presenter Matt Taylor, standing out in the rain and cold while his colleague Naga Munchetty has a comfy sofa in the Forum. But he's got the Tunnel of Light. Have you ever seen a man looking so happy about five miles of cabling? Matt wins.

  6. General election 2019: What are the issues in Norwich?published at 07:40 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2019

    But how about that it was once England’s second city?

    In Medieval England up until the 1700s, Norwich thrived due to its wool trade and had a population well above the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Sheffield.

    Today, its people are more likely to work in the financial sector, in retail in East Anglia’s mecca for shoppers or in the growing science and research base around its university and hospital.

    When it comes to politics, Norwich stood out as the only place in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex to have voted remain.

    But dig deeper into the politics of Norwich and you’ll see that it’s a tale of two cities - with a north/south split on Brexit and the two main parties.
