Hello,   With just five days to go until the general election, in this week's iweekend, you'll find part four of i's essential policy pull-out, which sets out each party's plans for infrastructure - think railways, fares and HS2, the expansion of Heathrow airport, housing and more.    On the less taxing side, we have the best festive TV for you, from a gritty take on A Christmas Carol to an animated adaptation of children's book The Snail and the Whale.   In travel, we've compiled a guide to last-minute festive escapes, from a treehouse in Devon to a handsome hideaway in the Scottish Highlands where woodland walks and salmon fishing are on your doorstep.      Elsewhere, Simon Calder bids farewell to Virgin Trains as the franchise is handed over to Avanti and you can discover why Seville makes the perfect winter city break.    Following glowing GCSE results, Britain's "toughest head teacher" Katherine Birbalsingh, of Michaela Community School in Wembley, London, sits down with education correspondent Will Hazell and defends her methods.    Over in culture, poet Nikita Gill - author of Great Goddesses - talks about smashing Instagram and righting the patriarchal wrongs of Greek mythology.    In money and business, we bring you the latest in our 'How I live on' series, with a single mother who says holding down two jobs helps her manage her time and money effectively. There are also tips on keeping your cash safe with app-only banks.    You'll also find our popular puzzles pull-out, a 7-day TV guide and sharp opinion articles on the week's biggest talking points.     Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to pick up your copy of iweekend from all good newspaper retailers.     Hanna Tavner iweekend, Editor    The nation's news, straight to your inbox.  Sign up to the i newsletter today!
