Dear reader, Today the Chancellor has announced a new programme to replace the furlough scheme and protect jobs in the face of tighter coronavirus restrictions. You can follow the latest in our liveblog, read details as to how the scheme will work, and discover who the winners and losers are. With these strict restrictions upon us, how much discussion has there been on the right balance of policies? Allister Heath argues that the Government’s decisions are being made without due consideration or examination because of three taboos which prevent honest discussion of the pandemic.
It has now been more than six months since Britain first went into lockdown, and with winter approaching you may be feeling a little gloomy. There are, though, reasons to be cheerful.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have caused plenty of controversy recently, but now the couple have drawn the ire of President Donald Trump by appearing together in a US voter registration drive video. Camilla Tominey explains why the move could prove a point of no return for the Duke. Finally, Rita Hayworth was the ultimate post-war pin-up girl, idolised by millions. Yet the real story of her life, told here by Martin Chilton, was deeply tragic. In an era where more stories of the grim reality of Hollywood continue to emerge, Hayworth’s story, writes Martin, will remain one of the saddest ever told. Chris PS.
