One in six Americans are already fully inoculated, so what's going wrong? 🤔

Let's start in Texas...

The state ended restrictions in a controversial move, despite having as many cases per day as the UK on average.

President Biden called it “irresponsible”

But did they get it right?

Data from the New York Times shows that in nine states over the past two weeks, virus cases have risen more than 40%.

Michigan saw a 133% increase - and epidemiologists have pointed to indoor dining as being a possible root cause

🌹 When Keir Starmer was selected as Labour Party leader on 4th April 2020 there were no crowds, no grand speech. It was a very muted start.

Now after a year in the role, it seems that that low-key beginning has become his leadership style

After months inside during a bleak winter, time in the sunshine could be just what the doctor ordered – but why is it so good for us?

🧵 Here's the science behind why the sun makes us feell so happy

telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
🌞 Most of us will agree that it's hard to feel unhappy in the sun, right?

🇬🇧🇪🇺 The City is starting to give up on the EU,

“It's looking increasingly like any form of financial services deal is a complete non-starter", writes @_BenWright_

Here’s a #thread of some of key lines from his latest column – 🧵👇 telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/…

"News that the UK and Brussels are close to agreeing a deal on financial regulation is, of course, to be welcomed."
🗳️ A partial “equivalence” agreement on financial products for the UK is said to be close.

"Whatever your view of Brexit, there can be little debate that the best trade agreement for the City of London was the one that it had before the UK voted to leave"
