“Welcome to the new Wild west” Never have I felt like celebrating something less than I feel like celebrating ‘freedom day’ – the biggest anti-climax since it turned out they were all actually dead in Lost the whole time (sorry for the decades-late spoiler). I’m not sure what I’d been imagining over the past 16 months, it certainly wasn’t bunting and party poppers, but I had hoped that when we emerged from lockdown and social distancing disappeared we would find ourselves in a world where Covid wasn’t a risk. A world where we all knew the rules of how to be. Instead we’re emerging into a new Wild West – ambiguous rules, furiously opposing camps and the sense that there could be a bust-up in the bar and chairs could…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Alice Dearing What will the Team GB marathon swimmer make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To make the most of what you have while you have got it. Strive for who you want to be and at the end arrive with happiness and no regrets on how you lived your life in the conditions you were dealt. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? As a video game fan I see this line blurred constantly as storytellers get us to question this for ourselves.

“Sport belongs to all of us” words: billie bhatia Sport made its big return this summer, and I couldn’t have been happier about it. The green lawns of Wimbledon carefully mowed to perfection after sitting barren for over a year were transformed into a meticulous backdrop for the famously white-clad players. Forehands down the line, mesmerising rallies, the oohs and aahs of a crowd gripped by every fiercely fought point brought back the welcome soundtrack to a thoroughly British summer.
