Today I was in the UEA Journalism newsroom watching our would-be reporters cover the #LiztrussResign announcement - seems like a good time to announce that in January I'm developing and teaching a new #political #journalism module for tomorrow's journalists. #politics

This time next week the newsletter will be in your inbox. And what's more, The Seeker is about to get twice as good, with a second edition coming out every Wed morning, in addition to Sat. All of this has been possible thanks to funding from Innovate UK Create Growth Fund.

Look what happens when these drivers meet an unexpected closure. There is something about road culture that makes these drivers think this is normal and acceptable. This is Waterworks Rd which is closed because of a sink hole. Video supplied by a resident.

The head-to-head quickfire format didn't really work imo as more time was needed to hear the answers. The follow up show with Ed Davey more illuminating #ITVDebate. Perhaps a better format for the two main parties too?
