Sources being used by some for negative opinion pieces need to be fact checked.
The Mirror is a tabloid, roughly the equivalent of something like The National Enquirer in the US, though a bit more left-wing. Same low standards of journalism though.
The Daily Mail is a hard-right tabloid that frequently engages in sensationalism and right-wing propaganda. The folks I know in the UK often refer to it as The Daily Fail for its shoddy journalism and poor fact-checking, or The Daily Heil (as in “Heil Hitler”) for its hard-right propaganda, xenophobia, racism, and nationalism.
The Daily Mail has such a long history of supporting fascism (literally; I don’t mean that in the sense “liberals don’t like them so they must be fascist,” I mean they literally endorsed Francisco Franco) that George Orwell called it out by name in the book Homage to Catalonia.
The Daily Mail supported this guy
In addition to xenophobia, anti-immigration, and white nationalist positions, The Daily Mail also publishes cancer conspiracy theories, antivax nuttiness, weird “health news” like articles saying tofu cures cancer, Creationist articles, articles claiming asbestos doesn’t cause cancer and medical reports that say it does are part of an anti-industry conspiracy, and anti-LGBT articles.
Wikipedia, of all places, , and encourages editors to review and remove claims that cite articles in the paper.
