It's in every song and advert at the moment, but how common is a white Christmas? @EmaSabljak has crunched the Met's numbers since 1960 to see. bbc.co.uk/weather/articl…

Some fantastic work by @EmaSabljak and @ecwebster22 went into this.

Rising rents and frozen housing benefits are pushing more renters into homelessness. This will be felt acutely in Hackney - with an estimated £350 cash shortfall between ever-rising local rents and local housing allowance rates. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

High street gambling venues are going unchecked up and down the country. More than 1 in 3 councils in England and Wales have not inspected a single one in the past year. Story for @BBCNews @BBCLondonNews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Excellent work by @Gerghana for the England Data Unit: Empty homes are on the rise. So why aren't they being used to solve the housing shortage? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@jessphillips called these reviews important opportunities to learn lessons and prevent future deaths, accepting more should be done to ensure the process was "effective and timely". Some brilliant, diligent reporting by @lauren_zo, @louise_fewster and @SabbiyahPervez.

Home Office guidance says domestic homicide reviews should be done in 6 months, but BBC research suggests just 1% are. Pauline Jones said the near 3-year wait for a review into her daughter's death was "hell on earth". bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@OllieSamuels Learn a bit of data - you can get pretty darn far with pivot tables
