Newspaper headlines: Race report 'backlash' and Queen 'gets second jab'

Sir Keir Starmer has told the Daily Telegraph that using vaccine passports in pubs would go against the "British instinct".

The Labour leader's opposition, the paper suggests, could increase the difficulty of getting Commons approval for such a measure.

The Times reports that GPs have raised concerns that vaccine certificates could be "discriminatory" and pose a data risk if the government is allowed to access sensitive medical records.

But both the i and Daily Mail report that a survey suggests there may be public support for the passports.

Nearly 80% of the 8,000 people questioned backed their use for travel abroad, and more than 60% to allow entry into a pub.

Meanwhile, the Sun celebrates the Queen having her second coronavirus jab and the high uptake of booster doses, with what the paper describes as "a staggering" 99.25% accepting their invite.

A day after the publication of the government-commissioned report on race, the Guardian and Times focus on a passage that Labour claims "glorifies the slave trade".

The suggestion is rebutted by the commission's chair, Tony Sewell, who says it is absurd to suggest they were downplaying the evil of the slave trade.

The Mail welcomes the review, saying it "blasted common sense into the debate".

The Times says it was "a serious attempt to move the national conversation beyond polarisation and towards practical solutions".

But the Daily Mirror concludes that it failed in its task and "insulted the people it was meant to serve".

The Guardian suggests some of the report's statements were "ignorant", others "downright offensive".

Overflowing bins and parks covered in litter are pictured in many papers, including the Daily Express and Daily Star, as people in England took advantage of the warm weather and easing of restrictions.

"It's lout of order," declares the Star and a "total disgrace".

Those hoping to escape it all are warned in the Telegraph that only a dozen countries could be safely opened to British holidaymakers by June.

According to the Guardian, people are forward planning, with sales of holidays for next year rocketing. TUI, the UK's largest tour operator, has reported a 150% rise in bookings for May 2022.

A senior Brussels policymaker warns the Financial Times that "zero" AstraZeneca vaccines will be allowed across the Channel until the EU's orders are met.

The comments have been described as "disappointing" by an official in London.

According to the Times, Pfizer has complained that EU export controls are placing a "significant administrative burden" on its vaccine production efforts.

The Daily Telegraph raises concerns, in its editorial, about the decision by France and Germany to hold talks with Russia about its Sputnik V jab, saying the rest of Europe would view the consolidation of this burgeoning relationship with "trepidation".

The Sun urges the UK government and AstraZeneca to push back against the "terrible press" its vaccine is getting abroad, stressing its "crucial advantages for poorer countries".
