Thinking of going to USA?

Expect screening of your social media activity...

The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, which can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

It's the season of light trails... a wonderful Christmas choreography of lights and music.

Hertfordshire's biggest Christmas Light Trail is at Ashridge House. Norfolk has the amazing Blickling Hall illuminations.

It's a mix of Oh's and Ah's and exercise. Look out for one near you...

New analysis from Peter Kellner suggests the UK now has a clear pro-Rejoin majority — driven by generational change and millions of Leave voters switching sides.
