In these confusing times, it’s easy to feel that uncertainty is becoming an unfortunate fact of life.
But by better understanding today’s news, we can begin to feel more confident about tomorrow.
Now is the time to turn to The Telegraph. Join us today to enjoy your first six months for just 1 a week and gain clarity on the stories that matter to you, courtesy of our award-winning team.
As a Telegraph subscriber, you’ll be kept expertly informed on the battle against Covid-19. You’ll find all the latest updates as ministers consider further border controls and the EU mulls the prospect of a UK travel ban. Vaccine passports, meanwhile, look to be inevitable if you’re planning a holiday in the foreseeable future, with one leading travel expert stating that they offer “the best way out of this mess.” Our reader community has had their say, too.
Hospitality seems set to remain restricted for the next few months, with scientists warning of a surge in coronavirus cases unless pubs and restaurants remain closed until May. Boris Johnson has refused to rule out a lockdown until summer, while this year’s Glastonbury Festival has been cancelled.
Vaccinations, however, are continuing apace, with millions having now received jabs. You can follow Britain’s progress towards lifting lockdown restrictions via inoculation with our dedicated tracking page, where you can also see how many people have been vaccinated in your area. Dominic Penna will bring you the latest news on when schools could reopen. You can also check the current case numbers in your region with our easy-to-use postcode tool.
Angela Epstein addresses the Education Secretary directly, stating that “We can’t stand this drip-feed uncertainty over schools much longer.” Molly Kingsley laments that adult health has been prioritised over children’s during the pandemic. And Sherelle Jacobs is at her forthright best as she argues that “The middle class is evaporating in lockdown, and the Tories have no idea what to do.”
In America, President Joe Biden is already hard at work, having swept away signs of Donald Trump from the Oval Office. Our team will talk you through the changes Biden has already made, including rejoining the Paris climate accord.
Nick Allen and Marcus Parekh will give you their guide to what the new president’s first 100 days in office could have in store. Rozina Sabur, meanwhile, sheds some clarity on Biden’s current and forthcoming policies, from Covid-19 to the environment, as well as the views of the man himself.
Our all-star panel of commentators will bring you an unrivalled perspective on the story behind the new presidency. Allister Heath makes the case that Britain needs Biden to succeed - but that “US decline might now be unstoppable.” Janet Daley questions whether Biden can really unite the States.
Rosa Prince asks whether there’s more to the new president than simply being “the anti-Trump” while Ambrose Evans-Pritchard examines Biden’s financial policies, stating that “The era of Biden reflation is in full swing already.”
Elsewhere, Patrick O’Flynn makes a compelling case that the EU’s latest diplomatic row shows that “Brexiteers were right - Brussels does aim to become a superstate.” In Features, Rebecca Reid shares her heartfelt story of being ‘ghosted’ by her best friend and the lessons that it taught her. And if you’re a football fan, you definitely won’t want to miss James Ducker’s exploration of the revitalisation of Paul Pogba’s Manchester United career.
