The January 6th 2022 edition of the daily mail sees the paper being very explicit in its pro-Boris Johnson ideology
the Headline reads 'a nation that's lost all sense of proportion' that's directly positioned below a pair of images representing the war between Ukraine and Russia, drawing a direct contrast between the two scenarios, and undermining the seriousness of the partygate scandal.
They likely chose these two specific images because the sheer magnitude of the weapons demonstrated serves to not only emphasise the seriousness of the Russo-Ukrainian war, but its been positioned as a direct contrast to make fun of all the people who are outraged over the scandal,
The headline ' A nation that's lost all sense of proportion' is not only representing the partygate scandal as something trivial to just be forgotten in 2 weeks, as 'lost all sense' implies that the British public are outraged over something inconsequential, but it also represents the British public in a negative light, as the line 'lost all sense of proportion' implies that people are losing sight of what's 'really important' (the Russo Ukrainian war) over the 'trivial matters' of the partygate scandal. this positioning not only tells us what the daily mail thinks about the British public, but it also makes clear their stance on Boris Johnson.
The rest of the copy within the front page also seeks to reinforce these ideologies, with the billboard using the line 'Westminster's convulsed over whether PM's birthday cake broke lockdown rules' to not only trivialise the matter at hand, as the line seems to give the impression that everyone is so worked up over the prime minister having a birthday cake rather then the actual incident, but the use of 'convulsed' reinforces their belief that the political and social outrage is an overreaction to an extreme extent
