When can I go on holiday? How far can I travel in the UK? The destinations likely to make the 'green list' Sign up to the Telegraph Travel newsletter Demand for UK holidays has skyrocketed this week, as England enters phase two of the roadmap to ease lockdown restrictions. Following the reopening of self-catered accommodation, campsites and beer gardens on Monday April 12, parts of Britain are close to fully booked. A report by the Rest Easy Group confirmed 98 per cent of properties in Cornwall across its platforms are booked this week – with Devon and Yorkshire also close to full capacity. “Only 3 per cent of properties in Devon are now available to book, followed by 5 per cent in Yorkshire and 2 per cent in Cornwall,” said Matt Fox, CEO of Rest Easy Group, which is a marketplace for UK holiday rentals. Calendars are also brimming with bookings in other popular destinations, as the future of international holidays remains uncertain. “We are still seeing the staycation market boom, with both Silverlake, Dorset and Lower Mill Estate, Cotswolds, fully booked today [Monday] and at 90 per cent capacity next weekend. We expect to see this increase in demand continue long into summer whilst international travel is still uncertain,” said Red Paxton, director at Habitat Escapes, which offers lakeside self-catering properties in The Cotswolds and Dorset. Popular destinations in Scotland are primed for a booking surge, as Nicola Sturgeon confirms restrictions on cross-border travel between Scotland and other parts of the UK will be lifted on April 26, when self-catering accommodation will also be allowed to reopen. A report by Tripadvisor found that Kinloch Rannoch, a popular holiday village in Perth and Kinross, is the most popular destination for staycationers planning an escape for the early May Bank holiday, having seen the biggest month-on-month increase in searches.

Tech workers at the New York Times announced Tuesday that they have formed a union and are now requesting recognition by the paper. According to the Times, the new union, known as the Times Tech Guild, will represent at least 650 employees who work in software engineering, web and software design, data analysis and product management. The Times Tech Guild will be represented by the NewsGuild of New York, which also represents the Times’ unionized newsroom employees, but will be part of a distinct bargaining bloc. “We are a group of New York Times employees who build, maintain, analyze and support products and technical systems that are key to the company’s success,” the union said in a statement announcing its existence. “We believe that the Times will become stronger by improving its workplace culture.” Also Read: Trump Rails Against NY Times for Report on His Campaign Fundraising Tactics “To better express and defend our rights, we are organizing with the NewsGuild of New York,” the statement continued. “As of now, we face a number of challenges, including sudden or unexplained terminations, opaque promotion processes, unpaid overtime, and underinvestment in diverse representation. Without a union, we lack the data or bargaining rights we need to address these issues. Through collective bargaining, we will be able to build The Times’ world class digital products and platforms in a workplace that is more equitable, healthy and just. We ask that management recognize the NewsGuild of New York as our bargaining representative and begin negotiating in good faith.” We’re excited to announce that the tech workers of @nytimes have formed a union with @nyguild.

We will take time to review this request and discuss it soon with representatives of the NewsGuild.” Read original story New York Times Tech Employees Unionize At TheWrap

Tuesday’s “The Late Show” kicked off with a short video inspired by a recent team up between New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and multihyphenate superstar Lin Manuel-Miranda. And guess what, you definitely won’t be surprised by where it goes. The duo officiated the opening of a new COVID vaccination center in Times Square, which is a symbolic part of the effort to get Broadway back to full strength. Naturally, the “Late Show” clip used that as a jumping off point for a “Hamilton” parody… and we bet $5 million dollars you already know which song from the smash hit Broadway musical they picked. Don’t worry, you don’t owe us anything. We’ll just confirm that yes, obviously, the vaccine-inspired song was a parody of “My Shot.” You know, because the vaccine is delivered via a shot. And also, you don’t want to miss your shot because if you do, you won’t develop COVID antibodies.
