- politics and Brexit, as an issue
- the text of the headline is carefully constructed to position the audience into accepting the newspaper's viewpoint, analysis and opinion.
- though it doesn't explicitly state an opinion in the style of tabloids (e.g. the sun says...) the choice of these main cover stories portray Brexit as dangerous for the economy, and perhaps the cause of future financial crash.
- the text of the headline is carefully constructed to position the audience into accepting the newspaper's viewpoint, analysis and opinion.
- in both the photo and the article, politicians are portrayed as ridiculous and clueless.
- those in the photo look defeated, in contrast to their slogan on the wall behind them, and the tone of the headline suggests that May, the Prime Minister doesn't know what she's doing
- the omission of any positive stories about Brexit and the economy reinforces the target audience's beliefs on this issue.
- the article about orban's conflict with the EU and his combative facial expression suggests the EU is a positive organization and that the UK is foolish to leave
- stereotypes of politicians
- they are often portrayed as inept and useless in both left/right wing tabloids and broadsheets.
- by exposing their weaknesses and mocking their decisions, this portrayal of the most powerful people in the country could offer audiences a sense of superiority.
- politicians pretend to be intelligent and well-meaning but by satirizing them, newspapers bring them down to the level of the general public.
