Daily Express: Health Avoidance and Political Intrigue on Wednesday, February 25, 2026
Key Front Page Stories
The Daily Express prominently reports that "HALF OF ADULTS AVOID GOING TO GP FOR HELP," with experts warning that millions are foregoing necessary healthcare. Inside the paper, a poll reveals nearly half of adults delayed contacting a GP last year, often due to appointment difficulties. In related national news, GPs are being directed to guarantee same-day appointments for urgent cases.
Another major headline features a warning from Kemi Badenoch, pictured in a thoughtful close-up, stating "‘NO CHILD IS SAFE’ FROM SOCIAL MEDIA." Inside the paper, she urges a ban on under-16s using social media as part of a "counter-revolution" against online dangers.
Beneath this, the headline "'PRINCE OF DARKNESS' Mandelson back home after police grilling" is highlighted. An accompanying image shows Lord Mandelson from behind, in a dark jacket, appearing to enter or leave a building, visually reinforcing his return. Inside the paper and from wider national reports, his lawyers claim his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, alongside Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, stemmed from "baseless" claims he was a flight risk. MPs have also backed the release of files concerning Andrew's past role as a trade envoy.
