Wednesday’s front pages offer a welcome break from the dominant stories over the past few weeks, as politics slips off many front pages, leaving room for other domestic topics and some showbiz gossip. 

The BBC’s apology regarding the Strictly Come Dancing scandal is a prominent story for many of the tabloids, amid whispers the popular reality TV show could face the axe.

The UK tabloids are less focused on US politics and look a little closer to home with various domestic stories featured as the leads. 

The back pages are focused on Premier League gossip and the upcoming Paris Olympics.

Monday’s front pages are dominated by one story: Joe Biden’s announcement he will not seek re-election in November, and backing his vice president Kamala Harris to be the Democratic candidate.

Biden will remain in office until the end of his term. The US will head to the polls in November to elect their new president – a race that now looks likely to be Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump.
