The Daily Briefing

Unfortunately, this will be the last video posted to TLDR Daily. It has been a project we’ve put love and care into for half a decade, but the time has come for it to end. Sit back and let Jack and Ben take you through the vivid history of The Daily Briefing, from 2020 to 2025, and then enjoy the rest of the Daily team joining to discuss their favourite moments from the last 5 years.

Thank you, everyone.
