FEELING SCENE • Notable names and faces from Leicester, one of Britain's first ‘super-diverse’ cities with a 59% ethnic majority population, drop a pin on their favourite places to hang

PAGE TURNERS • With Britain in the throes of an existential crisis, we asked writers from across the country to share the dissenting voices nudging us towards new and inclusive concepts of national identity - some of them so good, we had to mention them twice

Coming up FOR AIR • In a city where the air is so polluted simply breathing in is a hazard to your health, Sadiq Khan is on a mission to curb emissions. But London is becoming unlivable in more ways than one. Seven years into his tenure as mayor, how does his track record stack up?

NATIONAL RAIL • Forget stiff upper lips - well, maybe not the ‘stiff’ part - a new sex survey reveals British youth to be among the horniest in Europe. We saddle up and discover a nation surprisingly at ease with its kinks
