From The Editor

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

Dear reader,

The UK is settling into a period of relative normality, but the Government is already thinking ahead to what the coming winter may look like. The Prime Minister has expressed his reluctance to put in place a second national lockdown, but it remains an option. Sherelle Jacobs is less than impressed and calls for greater scrutiny of the science behind second wave worries.

It was a historic night for Liverpool as Jordan Henderson became the first captain of the club to lay his hands on the Premier League trophy and end a 30-year wait for a league title. Chris Bascombe was at Anfield to witness the moment and reported on the landmark occasion.

While Prince Andrew continues to lay low amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal, his ex-wife, the Duchess of York, has used the lockdown to transform her public profile. Camilla Tominey details the remarkable story of how Sarah Ferguson has turned herself into a cult hero on YouTube with her children’s storytime videos.

Finally, the Blues Brothers band is remembered as a cultural phenomenon, but it started out as a hobby for John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Tom Fordy tells the wonderful story of how a bit of messing around between friends rapidly turned into a serious musical obsession and a national sensation that James Brown credited with reviving his career.
