Discontent over pace of Brexit threatens Tory safe seat
Tomorrow, voters go to the polls in Lincolnshire for the Sleaford and North Hykeham by-election. It came about due to the resignation of the Conservative MP Stephen Phillips, who was elected in 2015 with a 24,000 majority, so it may initially seem as though the seat will stay Tory. However, the constituency is very pro-Brexit, and as a result of slow Brexit negotiations, residents may stray away from their expected alliance. Share Radio's Glen Goodman spoke to John Curtice, Professor of Politics at the University of Strathclyde, for his thoughts on the by-election.

Moneywise's Moira O Neill and Helen Knapman selecting the best Christmas food
With Christmas now just a few weeks away - now's the time many are stocking up on festive food. With such a wide range on offer choosing a decent spread can be tricky...especially if you want to stick to a budget. The team at Moneywise have taken the Christmas hit and done the hard work for us - trying a range of mince pies, and prosecco. Plus do kids need more toys and games or would the money be better spent setting up saving or investment plans? It will probably be more valuable in the long term - especially when you consider over a third of Christmas toys don't make it past January. £1.2 billion is wasted each year by family and friends buying gifts that get broken or discarded.
