No wonder audiences have flooded cinemas with their tears. While critics have called it contrived, hearts have been won over by the leads’ natural chemistry, its local south London charm (albeit a bristling privileged one) and – in case you’re confused about the comedy part – a very funny birth scene in a petrol station toilet.So far, so weepie. But for fellow thirtysomething women, there is a less obvious part in the story that gets under the skin – one that romcoms rarely dare to explore: the decision to be or not to be a mother.

It’s free, it’s sensible and it makes workers happy. The government needs to accept that this is the new normalYou would be hard-pressed to find a single positive side-effect of the pandemic. If there is one, it is the growing numbers of people who now work from home. Half of workers work from home for at least part of the week now, and many workplaces have thrived because of it. Zoom meetings save time and wasteful travel, employers are free to hire talent from anywhere in the country, and employees have escaped escalating property prices in London and steep commuting costs. Working from home (WFH) has been a boon for the climate, too; according to one US study, two to four days of remote working a week lowers carbon emissions by between 11% and 29%.Yet WFH is now coming under accelerating attack.

When the two went face-to-face, it felt as if the victor was guaranteed success.Liverpool have maintained their place at the top tables in England and Europe, whereas Forest’s journey has been more storied, the club dropping to the third tier before making it back to the top flight after almost a quarter of a century away.
