The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

60%

Examples:

  • But an equally apt analogy is that the wheels have come off.
  • Despite banners around the hall heralding ’Bold Action’, more of the same is a better description.
  • No one here, not even Sunak, genuinely believes he will be in Downing Street on July 5 to enact any of it.
  • The vast conference space, where a particularly dire episode of The Apprentice had been shot shortly before Sunak took the reins of the Tory party, did not offer the most auspicious atmosphere.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The sense of anti-climax in the cavernous hall was palpable.
  • The wheels have come off.

Contradictions

80%

Examples:

  • There are grumblings within the party for bolder actions like leaving the ECHR or holding a referendum on it, more ambitious tax cuts, or offering something to young people.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • The sense of anti-climax in the cavernous hall was palpable.
  • The wheels have come off.
