Dear reader,

Yesterday, Rishi Sunak made a number of major announcements, the most eye-catching of which were aimed at the hospitality industry. Few institutions have encompassed the lockdown’s consequences quite like the British pub – but can the country pub survive the new normal? Guy Kelly writes what the next five years could look like.

Dafydd Jones’s photos of Oxford University students in the Eighties are well known, thanks to the fame that many of his subjects acquired, among them Boris Johnson and Hugh Grant. The collection is being published in a new book and, ahead of its release, Mr Jones talked about the fascinating story of how, as an outsider from Oxford Polytechnic, he successfully photographed Britain’s young elite.

Finally, Mel Gibson is not exactly renowned for respecting history in his filmmaking. While Braveheart set new lows for diverging from the source material in 1995, five years later Gibson was at it again with The Patriot. Tom Fordy speaks to historians to find out what the film gets wrong and asks whether it crosses the line in pursuit of entertainment.
