Dear reader, The coronavirus pandemic has caused huge changes to the world we live in, but the funding needed to pay for everything from medical care, furloughing and even Rishi Sunak's Eat Out To Help Out scheme (which ends today) has led to gaping holes in the public finances. Now it seems that officials in Mr Sunak's Treasury department are pushing for huge tax rises. But what exactly would these be? Only a third of British employees have returned to the office, compared with two thirds in France and Germany. Kate Andrews explains why that decision has huge consequences, and could put everyone’s livelihoods at risk. Sometimes it may seem as if there is too much negative news in the world, but of course there are positive stories too. A week ago, Zak Crawley's huge double-century lifted England in the third Test. Our cricket writer, Tim Wigmore has talked to the 23-year-old, who was always determined to play for his country. It's a lovely article. Finally, do you have a sister? Novelist Daisy Johnson has written this delightful piece about the special relationship between sisters, and the intimacy of growing up together. I hope you enjoy the bank holiday today.
