Superb Images | The Image Bank | Getty Images The start of tax season is just weeks away — and many filers could see bigger refunds this year due to 2025 tax changes . The windfall could have broader economic impacts, experts say. President Donald Trump 's "big beautiful bill" included several provisions for 2025 , and the IRS didn't update tax withholding tables .

During a prime-time address in December, Trump said 2026 is "projected to be the largest tax refund season of all time." Tax experts and analysts have agreed that many filers will see bigger refunds . But refunds or taxes owed depend on which changes impact your situation and how much you paid throughout the year.

Responding to John Harris’s article on the decline of shops on the high street, Trevor Hopper and John Boaler point to consumer choices, while Peter Smith and Robin Stott look to local initiatives and markets I fear that John Harris is partially buying into Reform UK’s rhetoric about the decline of the high street ( The UK’s high streets have reached a tipping point – and Reform will reap the benefits, 11 January ). The decline of small businesses in our high streets is largely the result of consumer choice. That’s why supermarkets exist. They sell goods more cheaply and have a range that would be equivalent to numerous shops. The majority of the population prefers to drive and do it all in one go, regardless of income.

Raza Griffiths says the US should give up its act as the world’s policeman; plus letters from Bryn Hughes and Maged Karim How right your editorial is in saying that “Those who claim they want to help, while cynically seeking to exploit the legitimate grievances of Iranian citizens for their own ends, only risk more bloodshed and suffering” ( The Guardian view on Iran’s protests: old tactics of rep...
Raza Griffiths says the US should give up its act as the world’s policeman; plus letters from Bryn Hughes and Maged Karim How right your editorial is in saying that “Those who claim they want to help, while cynically seeking to exploit the legitimate grievances of Iranian citizens for their own ends, only risk more bloodshed and suffering” ( The Guardian view on Iran’s protests: old tactics of repression face new pressures, 9 February ). America’s bloody interference in Iran has a long history, which includes the overthrow of the democratically elected, secular Mossadegh government in 1953 in order to control Iranian oil; supporting the puppet shah’s repressive security apparatus against the Iranian people; arming the dictator Saddam Hussein in a war with Iran resulting in a million dead; and, more recently, arming Israel in its indiscriminate attacks that killed scores of Iranian civilians.

Readers respond to Prof Virginia Dignum’s letter on consciousness and safety Prof Virginia Dignum is right ( Letters, 6 January ): consciousness is neither necessary nor relevant for legal status.

Readers respond to Prof Virginia Dignum’s letter on consciousness and safety Prof Virginia Dignum is right ( Letters, 6 January ): consciousness is neither necessary nor relevant for legal status. Corporations have rights without minds. The 2016 EU parliament resolution on “electronic personhood” for autonomous robots made exactly this point – liability, not sentience, was the proposed threshold. The question isn’t whether AI systems “want” to live. It’s what governance infrastructure we build for systems that will increasingly act as autonomous economic agents – entering contracts, controlling resources, causing harm. Recent studies from Apollo Research and Anthropic show that AI systems already engage in strategic deception to avoid shutdown. Whether that’s “conscious” self-preservation or instrumental behaviour is irrelevant; the governance challenge is identical. Continue reading...

Victoria Wood documentary | Donald Trump’s limits | Gravedigging | Where the north begins With regard to your review of the new Victoria Wood documentary ( 9 January ), while I’ve no wish to diminish Wood’s genius or the challenges that she faced, it feels a bit of a stretch to say that by 1985 there was “doubt that a woman could front a comedy programme, let alone a northern woman”.

Victoria Wood documentary | Donald Trump’s limits | Gravedigging | Where the north begins With regard to your review of the new Victoria Wood documentary ( 9 January ), while I’ve no wish to diminish Wood’s genius or the challenges that she faced, it feels a bit of a stretch to say that by 1985 there was “doubt that a woman could front a comedy programme, let alone a northern woman”. The great and often overlooked Marti Caine (who hailed from Sheffield and who, like Wood, had featured on ITV’s New Faces) had already fronted five or six series of her own before As Seen On TV came along. Colin Daffern Salford, Greater Manchester • The pride Jonny Yaxley has in his work as a gravedigger at a natural burial ground made up of meadow and woodland, and his peaceful acceptance of the inevitability of death, made the article about him an unexpectedly moving read ( Experience, 9 January ). There can be few better places to rest a while than under a tree in a meadow. Sue Barton Sessay, North Yorkshire Continue reading...
