The Daily Star’s had a memorable run of front pages during the pandemic and today’s was no exception as it took Boris Johnson to task as he tried to excuse himself over ‘Partygate’.

But while the Star was good, there was no doubting winner of the front page of the day.

Bravo, everyone at the Independent.

But perhaps the funniest front page was the Sun – unintentionally, obviously – because it decided to ignore Johnson to focus on the really big news of the day.
