Morning everyone and welcome to the new look Morning Mail. I’m Martin Farrer and I’ll be delivering your morning updates in a revised format that we hope you’ll like. We wanted to make it look a bit snappier but without losing the basic content – pithy takes on the top news lines of the day, a flavour of our huge output of features, analysis and lifestyle writing, plus sport and a roundup of what the broader media are reporting on.
To complement our morning offering, we’re also launching today a new Afternoon Update newsletter of the day’s main headlines, curated by my colleague Antoun Issa – sign up here.
