2021 is set to be a year like no other. From the rollout of the vaccine for Covid-19, to recapturing our much-missed freedoms, the weeks and months ahead will be filled with unprecedented moments as we take cautious steps towards our brave new world.

Now is the time to turn to The Telegraph - and enjoy unrivalled clarity on the shape of things to come. Join us today with our exclusive lockdown offer and enjoy one whole year for just 39.

As a Telegraph subscriber, you’ll be assured of an expert, up-to-the-minute perspective on the battle against Covid-19. Our dedicated team will bring you all the latest global health updates, including Boris Johnson backing the AstraZeneca vaccine, despite Germany advising that it not be given to over-65s.

Tensions between the UK and EU over the vaccine have now reached a crisis point, with Britain’s Pfizer supply threatened by new legislation. With the EU press giving a damning verdict of the row, James Crisp will talk you through how the UK’s “vaccine gamble” paid off, while the EU left itself “without a leg to stand on”.

You’ll be able to follow Britain’s progress towards lifting lockdown restrictions via our dedicated vaccine tracking page, which will also tell you how many jabs have been given in your local area. You’ll find live travel updates, too, as the government confirms its list of the 33 “high-risk” countries, from which arrivals will face a stay in a quarantine hotel.

For the forthright Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, “AstraZeneca is a scapegoat for a staggering EU failure.” Matthew Lynn makes the case that a “No job, no jab policy should be the law.”

As Nicola Sturgeon prepares to publish vaccine supply data, despite Number 10’s demand not to, Alan Cochrane states in his video report that “Covid-19 has been the making of Sturgeon”, but that “it could mark the end of the union.” If Scots truly want independence, writes Alexandra Phillips, “Brexiteers should not stand in their way.”

Viewers have been granted a rare look inside the life of the Royal Family with the leaking of a fly-on-the-wall documentary that the Queen had previously ordered to be locked away. In his review of the video, Chris Bennion writes that it “humanises the Windsors far better than the Crown” - and gives it five stars.

Brokers have blocked users of the social networking site Reddit from buying shares in GameStop this week, after members of one forum sent stocks soaring and caused a market frenzy. Taha Lokhandwala will guide you through exactly what is happening and what this unique movement means for DIY investors.

Benedict Spence reflects on the ruckus, writing that “Reddit fever may open a new populist front that the elites can’t stop.” Benedict declares that “This has shown the little people that it is possible to take on financial institutions at their own game.” Ben Wright, however, urges caution, warning of a danger that this revolution “ends up eating its children.”

Elsewhere, new allegations have emerged against Ghislaine Maxwell in unsealed court papers. Oliver Brown asks where the BBC is in the scramble to broadcast the India-England Test series. And Anthony Peregrine tells the story of Europe’s last great siege, when Parisians swapped haute cuisine in favour of (believe it or not) stewed elephant.
