It’s not often the Daily Star speaks for the nation, but today’s front page has got the entire internet – well, a large part of it – cheering.

Who doesn’t want a cut-out-and-keep Dominic Cummings mask?

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.

Can’t remember the tabloids ever so united on one issue. True voices of the people

Ps you got me. They are “campaigning newspapers” https://t.co/qjXMfbJcOC
