Dear Telegraph Reader,

As the warm days of summer give way to changing autumn colours, one could easily be concerned about detecting a distinct sense of deja vu.

Brexit and a rising wave of coronavirus cases are, once again, dominating the headlines. But with deadlines approaching and new laws emerging, clarity has never been more crucial.

Now is the time to turn to The Telegraph. Subscribe now and enjoy your first 30 days free, your next three months for just 1 per month, then 2 per week thereafter.

With a second wave of coronavirus cases causing chaos across Britain, we’ll keep you expertly informed with calm, balanced coverage. Our team of Britain’s best-informed journalists will update you on what the new rules mean for you and your loved ones, as well as the risk of a second lockdown. Janet Daley, meanwhile, is typically forthright in her scathing take on the government’s response, and Julia Hartley-Brewer protests that the ‘Rule of Six treats us like toddlers.’

You’ll also stay up-to-the-minute on the pandemic’s impact on our hospitals and schools, as well as the current national hotspots. If you want to see whether cases are rising or falling in your area, our interactive tool will show you just that.

On the Brexit front, let Camilla Tominey talk you through how Boris Johnson’s next big battle lies in the Internal Market Bill. Meanwhile William Hague, himself a former foreign secretary, warns that Britain will be leaving itself and its reputation perilously exposed, should the government violate international law.

In culture, the BBC’s rich list has thrown up more than a few surprises. Zoe Ball has seen her fortunes soar, but in Charlotte Runcie’s eyes, this constitutes a ‘whopping raise for failing.’ You’ll also be able to read all of our latest tips on what to watch as the nights draw in. This week, Anita Singh is effusive in her praise for a ‘mesmerising’ David Tennant in ITV’s new serial killer drama, Des.

As a Telegraph subscriber, there’s also plenty to smile about. We’ve found you ten overlooked seaside locations for a secluded late-summer escape, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford tells us about the time the Queen asked him why heavy metal was so loud (no, really) and Matt has returned from his break, refreshed and ready to cast his legendary eye over today’s biggest stories.

Once you’ve joined us, you can feel free to have your say in our subscriber-only comments section. Over 1,500 of our readers have discussed Nick Timothy’s piece about the EU’s fury at Britain’s very own backstop. Why not lend your voice to the debate too?
