Editorial signature

Under long-serving editor Paul Dacre and successor Ted Verity, the paper has built its identity on campaigns against immigration, the European Court of Human Rights, 'wokeness' and what the 2016 splash branded 'Enemies of the People' judges in the Article 50 ruling. The Stephen Lawrence 'Murderers' front page and Sarah Vine and Richard Littlejohn's columns sit inside the same masthead, producing a tabloid that swings between investigative campaigning and partisan culture-war framing.
