Dear Reader,

Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, has made himself a popular man over the past 18 months. But giving away cash to keep the country stable was always going to be the easy bit. Now, he has a bigger challenge on his hands: he must find a way to ease the pressure on public finances without breaking too many manifesto promises. One option he is considering, as we report today, is a pensions tax raid. You can find out here how the Treasury’s plans might affect you and your pension.

Government officials are drawing up proposals that will allow anyone who has received a full course of the Covid vaccine to sidestep quarantine after returning home from amber destinations, with some testing measures still in place. With quarantine restrictions lifted, many amber list countries will suddenly become viable holiday destinations. Here is our ultimate guide to Covid vaccination travel, whether you've had one dose, two doses or none.

The Duchess of Sussex is often thought of as the Queen’s most outspoken grandchild-in-law. However, Mike Tindall doesn’t hold back in this no-nonsense interview, in which he shares his views on the Black Lives Matter organisation, fatherhood and his royal in-laws. It’s a fascinating read.

As we get older, it’s only natural that we worry more about our digestive systems. But with the science of gut health evolving all the time, finding simple, comprehensible information on digestion can be a challenge. Rebecca Seal and John Vincent have come to the rescue with this five-day meal plan to help Telegraph readers achieve and maintain better gut health.
