PM's Boxing Day Newsletter

Hello from PM,

As you read this, a small team's working to bring you a Boxing Day PM. As well as offering the day's news, we've also got some treats we've been working on for weeks.

+ Syria. As more Arab observers are due to arrive there, Eddie's been speaking to a French photographer who spent weeks undercover. His images have been credited with bringing global attention to single events that would otherwise have passed by forgotten.

+ Prince Philip. HRH has spent a third night in hospital, and is still said to be in "good spirits." We'll bring you the latest health bulletin, and also we'll ask how to calm the nerves of a patient who doesn't want to stay in bed on Boxing Day.

+ Nigeria. Mourning continues after Christians celebrating Christmas were targeted by Islamist extremists.

+ British Politics. Our three veteran PM panellists read the traditional tea leaves.

+ Advice please on re-gifting. The writer Alexander McCall Smith has publicly questioned when is it appropriate to pass along a Christmas present you do not like, want or need?

Here's to you for reading this, fighting long queues and dealing with a transport strike to get to this newsletter.

Paddy O'Connell and PM team, Amanda, Manveen and Rebecca.
