| Dear reader,
Few expected the Equality and Human Rights Commission's investigation into Labour's anti-Semitism to be anything other than damning. Nevertheless, the speed with which it has escalated and the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn from the party is surprising. Many, including Angela Epstein, will hope that this isn't the end of the matter. She argues forcefully for why Mr Corbyn must be removed from the party and Parliament for Labour to truly clear its name. You can follow the latest developments on our live blog.
With more and more of Europe heading into lockdown, attention is turning to Boris Johnson and whether he will persist with a regional strategy in England. Infections and deaths in the UK continue to rise, but should we be rushing straight to another lockdown? To really decide, argues Allister Heath in his column, we need a transparent accounting method that takes into account more than just excess deaths.
Finally, midlife inertia is not the same as a mid-life crisis, but it might be more common. According to researchers in Norway, people in their mid-50s tend to lose their motivation to try new things. It’s a feeling Kate Mulvey can definitely identify with, as she writes in this lovely piece. She’s not worried by it, however, but embracing it.
