How Daily Mail reports on the same policy depending on whether it’s a Labour or Conservative idea

People have been comparing how the Daily Mail reports the same policy depending on whether it’s a Labour or a Conservative idea.

In one sense it’s entirely predictable and yet the sheer brazenness of it is still something to behold.

Aren’t they ashamed or even embarrassed? If I was caught out being inconsistent, poorly informed and downright deceitful in my job, I’d be sacked.

In fairness, the Mail took umbrage at Ed Miliband’s policy because – if Labour had won in 2015 – he would have taken it forward. They can afford to support May’s version of the same policy safe in the knowledge that she won’t.

It’s as if the Daily Mail has no self awareness.
