The Telegraph is a blatantly tory newspaper. It has been like this for some time, and worse since the Brexit vote. I don't think it's considered to be 'balanced' any more.
I don't read it because of its paywall, but titles and excerpts from some of its columnists articles appear quite frequently on former twitter and it's like seeing writing from a parallel universe.
But then, I'm a Guardian reader so I would say that, wouldn't I? 😁
While I have my doubts about Starmer and his government I think he handled the 'riots' absolutely correctly and in a timely fashion.
I wish he could have said something about the heartwarming 'counter demonstrations', which, to me. showed a love of country and community in a very positive way. There were more people than just the police helping to calm the situation...
At least the King had some good words to say about them, though...
