Our brand new Premium product - a brilliant new way for you to get closer to the Express newsroom - has been launched. If you sign up, you can get access to our very best journalism, enjoy an exciting extra Daily Expresso video shot and enjoy a much cleaner and quicker-to-load advert-lite experience on our stories.
I will be writing to Premium readers every day with an account of what the team is working on and some insight into how our stories are put together. Our Premium launch happened around lunchtime on Tuesday, after all the necessary system checks had been done. Weeks of preparation culminated in our very first premium article by columnist Esther McVey going live. There was time for a spot of celebratory cake and a glass of fizz in our Canary Wharf HQ to mark the occasion.
The next article was by our ace tennis writer Yasmin Syed, looking into the ups and downs of Emma Raducanu's career so far. And it was followed by a piece from our crime editor, Paul Jeeves, on the latest woes of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
