Sweden’s totally different approach to the pandemic has failed, and it’s now caved in and followed the rest of us into lockdown. That’s what some are saying, but has it really? Also, did Britain go into lockdown based on dodgy figures? The US media suddenly notice that Hunter Biden is in trouble. And a leading figure who called for the punishment of Covid lockdown breakers gets caught breaking lockdown.

A huge judgement as the High Court rules that children cannot consent to body-changing trans treatments such as puberty blockers. Britain picks playground fights with Dr Fauci and everyone else about how much better it is than them. Joe Biden’s emerging new team signals a final end to the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. And cancel culture hits English Master Will Knowland at Eton School.

It seems as though it’s unending covid lockdowns until the vaccines arrive. But will people take them when they get here? Joe Biden pleases some and upsets others and he gears up for action on climate change. And for once, attempts to cancel both the living and the dead fail miserably.

Boris Johnson launches his ten-point plan for the green industrial revolution. Question marks get raised over whether Covid-19 actually started in China, even as protests against lockdowns continue. And we ask the question whether there’s any answer now to our deeply polarised society.

Joe Biden promises that he can heal America, but there are good reasons to think that he’s wrong. A vaccine is on the way that has a 90% effectiveness against Covid-19. And climate scientists stand up against end-of-the-world doomerism even as President Trump gives them a final kick on his way out of the door.

England goes into full lockdown and within days the data that put it there is being ripped apart. The US presidential standoff gets uglier as President Trump alleges widespread fraud and Europe faces serious conflict over political Islam in the wake of recent terrorist attacks.

In this round-up of the week, the final presidential debate takes place against the backdrop of highly partisan media reporting. The UK throws more areas into Covid lockdown and the data shows that the coronavirus doesn’t after all care about the colour of your skin.

In this round-up of the week, following the vice presidents debate we ask what we learned from the two candidates who are actually able to speak in complete sentences, and why the debate format is so bad. We ask whether President Trump is really as recovered and healthy as he says he is, And Britain and Europe prepare for yet more Covid-19 lockdowns in spite of the growing chorus of criticism.
