| Dear Reader,
Today marks the last day of the Brexit transition period, with a trade deal agreed just in time, a feat many said was impossible. This evening at 11pm will mark the end of a four-year saga and, according to Liam Halligan, the beginning of Britain becoming Europe’s biggest economy. Here he explains the wealth of opportunity open to the UK and what Boris Johnson must do to secure a future of prosperity.
As 2020 draws to a close, there have been further welcome developments in fighting the coronavirus. Yesterday, the Oxford vaccine was approved for use in the UK, creating new optimism for a long-awaited return to normality. In this article, Health Secretary Matt Hancock calls it the ‘single biggest stride’ since the pandemic began and urges us to keep our resolve as he outlines the year ahead.
In The Telegraph’s Lost Britain series, our journalists are revealing the damage left by the pandemic. This time, William Sitwell examines the difficulties faced by the nation’s eateries, speaking to chefs and restaurant owners about how they’ve dealt with prolonged uncertainty and their concern over what the future may hold for their livelihoods.
With best wishes for a happy new year,
Chris
