The best of The Telegraph's articles, sent by the Editor

Dear reader,

Saturday's terrible attack in Reading was an unwelcome reminder that Britain continues to face old threats, even amid the pandemic. You can follow the latest on that story in our live blog.

John Bolton, the Washington DC veteran and, most recently, National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, has caused something of a storm with his new book, the publication of which the US Government has tried to prevent. In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Mr Bolton tells Con Coughlin why, as a lifelong Republican, he turned on the President and discusses what Boris Johnson should do next with his foreign policy.

Many British institutions have been reexamining their histories in the wake of weeks of anti-racism protests. One of the most high-profile examples has been the RFU’s decision to review the use of Swing Low at England matches. Maggie Alphonsi, who played for England more than 70 times, writes in a powerful column about how she believes education about its origins, and not a ban, is the solution.

Finally, yesterday’s Father’s Day will have been a very strange one for many families across the country. In a lovely and touching piece, five of our writers detail what Sunday was like for them.
