Good morning, and welcome to the last edition of this newsletter for the year (and fear not, we’ll be back next week, in what sources say will be 2024).

2023 was, among many, many other things, the year that brought Labor back down to Earth. Who knows what’s coming next – some good TV at least. We hope you’ve enjoyed our picks of interesting stuff from around the Guardian every Saturday. If you have, consider forwarding this email to a friend! Friends love emails.
