From The Editor

By Chris Evans, Editor

The best of The Telegraph's articles, sent by the Editor

Dear reader,
With children back at school and the childcare burden lifted a little, this was meant to be the week we all returned to the office. Instead, as we reported this morning, the Government’s back to work plan is floundering. Gordon Rayner reports on what’s gone wrong and why ministers fear the consequences.
The BBC has a new boss this week, Tim Davie, and he has a significant task on his hands in turning around perceptions of the corporation. Allison Pearson has written an open letter to the new Director General explaining why Middle England has come to loathe its national broadcaster.
One of the silver linings of the pandemic and lockdown has been an upsurge in small acts of kindness, from neighbourly help to community action. Sarah Ebner explores how the last few months have changed the way we act and the psychology behind it.
Finally, Ethel “Bunty” Gee may have seemed like any normal, unassuming spinster. In reality, the 46-year-old, who worked at Britain’s top-secret Underwater Detection Establishment on a revolutionary sonar system, was the perfect spy. Trevor Barnes recounts the extraordinary tale of her life.
