Dear reader,

Britain faces another week of uncertainty as ministers contemplate placing further restrictions on the public in the hope of reining in the coronavirus. You can keep up with the latest on our liveblog, and read this excellent piece on what Britain can learn from Europe's second waves.

With Brexit all but settled, fights over culture appear to have become the key divider in British politics. Have the country’s elites been paying enough attention to mainstream thought or do they risk another popular eruption? The actor Laurence Fox revealed to us his plans to create what has been dubbed a "Ukip for culture" – a new and well-funded party set up to fight the culture wars.

In a US election campaign overflowing with apparent bombshell moments, might this be the biggest one yet? The New York Times claims to have gained access to Donald Trump’s historical tax returns and reports that in 2017 he allegedly paid just $750 in federal income tax while his companies are mired in losses. Rozina Sabur takes you through the 10 key points of the story.

Finally, working from home has forced many of us to reconsider our houses and how they function. So what does the home of the future look like? From security and sanitation tech, to imperceptible solar panels woven into every surface and the return of prefab homes, Harry de Quetteville explores the wild yet familiar homes of 2030.
