Dear Telegraph Reader,
Britain stands on the brink of a second lockdown. As coronavirus infection rates double every week, new government regulations look set to create a winter of discontent for millions.

Start your free trial today and receive clarity and confidence when you need them most. Our award-winning journalists will guide you through the new rules of lockdown and help you make sense of what they mean for you and your loved ones.
At the same time, our dedicated Global Health Security team will keep you expertly up to speed on the progress of the second wave and its impact on our lives and communities.
Our forthright columnists have plenty to say about the situation, too. Allister Heath warns that Britain’s second lockdown will be even more terrible than the first, while our incisive, uncompromising team has written that we need to learn to live with the disease.
You’ll also be able to follow the latest political developments. As Charles Hymas writes, Boris Johnson’s ‘Rule of Six’ is already facing legal challenges. Christopher Hope, meanwhile, will take you through the growing cabinet backlash around the Prime Minister’s new legislation.
Our Travel team has been asking Europeans for their take on Britain’s Covid rules. Our continental respondents certainly pulled no punches. On the education front, Verity Bowman has found that the ‘Covid chaos’ in American universities comes as a stark warning to British students.

In more positive news, the UK has signed its first post-Brexit trade deal with Japan - and we’ll talk you through the economic significance of the agreement. However, with the Brexit deadline looming, the EU has given Boris Johnson 20 days to retreat on his Brexit Bill. You’ll be able to meet the man behind the deadline, while James Crisp will give you his guide to everything that could happen next.
As the future becomes increasingly uncertain, we all need strong communities to turn to. So as a Telegraph subscriber, you’ll be able to share your thoughts in our subscriber-only comments section.
