What is the order of Conservatism among the UK daily newspapers, from most to least? I have seen it alluded to here, but never overtly listed. The ones I’m thinking of are the Gaurdian, The London Times, The Telegraph, and the UK Daily Mail. I’m sure there are more, a list would be helpful. Thanks...
The Guardian is the equivalent of the Nation being available on a daily basis as a newspaper. More a mouthpiece of the Labour Party. The others are right-of-center but there are class differences going back to their origins:
1: London Times: The oldest and a Tory standard bearer, think of old money.
2: London Telegraph: Middle Class
3: Daily Mail: A tabloid appealing to the lower “white collar” middle class. Old monied Tories, like Lord Salisbury, scoffed at the paper being the paper of the clerks.
