Health Secretary Matt Hancock says Britain’s jabs blitz is helping win the battle against new coronavirus variants, writes the Daily Express.

Like many of the other papers, the Daily Express splashes on the changes to the travel list. The paper says that putting Portugal on the amber list is a “Summer Holiday Blow for Millions”.

The Daily Express reports that education tsar Sir Kevan Collins has quit, blaming Number 10 for underfunding COVID catch-up lessons.

The Daily Express also splashes on the lack of any new COVID deaths being reported on Tuesday for the first time since March 2020.

Britain’s “more jabs, more jobs” bounceback from COVID-19 is paying off with a record recovery, with economists now expecting us to beat all major rich nations this year with 7.2% growth, the Daily Express writes.

The Daily Express reports on the race to offer all over 50s a second COVID-19 jab by 21 June, when it is hoped that restrictions in England will end.

The Daily Express leads on a campaign to stop companies raising premiums for loyal customers, with the drive aimed at energy, mortgage, mobile and broadband providers. Insurers were reportedly previously stopped from continuously raising prices by regulators.

The proposed end of lockdown may have to be later than the expected date of 21 June – that’s the lead in the Daily Express.

“Vengeful” and “embittered” is the way the Daily Express describes the former adviser’s Commons committee appearance.
