I noted they were the only national paper to even vaguely both sides Trump and Ukraine this morning.

What was it Jim Hacker said - read by people who think the country's run by another country? Something I suspect they'd be fine with, depending on the country.

The Telegraph went full Tufton buring the reign of Boris the wise.
They converged on Upminster after his replacement.

It's no surprise that they'd back a pro-Putin line, and talk up all his little puppets.

Earlier in the week the Telegraph thought they had a gotcha because a mum who had removed her daughter from a private school because of Labour charging VAT on school fees had subsequently got her daughter into a special school and the local authority were now having to pay transport costs.

This isn't a gotcha, quite the opposite. The child who apparently has mobility issues is now at a school that can properly meet her needs. The child will now get specialist support including physiotherapy and specialist careers advice. She would probably not have got this kind of support in a private school.

Saw that story nice to see it getting exposed for the nonsense that it is. I went on their website and half the articles were on private school fees.
