Spring is truly on its way.

Last night, Boris Johnson unveiled his long-awaited roadmap out of lockdown.

This gradual easing of restrictions is expected to be spread across four months, with the first step set for March 8.

As we look ahead to life beyond lockdown, clarity has never been more crucial. What does the roadmap mean for families and education? How will it affect hospitality, jobs and socialising? Are there more twists and turns yet to come? And what does it all mean for you and yours?

Ben Riley-Smith reveals how plans for a major easing of lockdown before Easter were dropped after a stark warning from Sage. Plus, with backbench Tories striking out against the pace of the roadmap, Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee of Conservative MPs, writes exclusively that “the state must never hold such control over our lives again”.

Michael Deacon is characteristically insightful as he examines the response from the Opposition, writing “Boris Johnson unrolled his roadmap… and Labour looked utterly lost”. Janet Daley, meanwhile, is at her forthright best, stating that “Keir Starmer has quit the lockdown debate”. And don’t miss our Telegraph view, which tells the Prime Minister “We must be bold in returning to normality”.
