So very fucking grim and predictable from the Mail. 'Allowed to stay here' – as oppose to a mass deportation programme of our friends and neighbours you mean? pic.twitter.com/aBFELu9kAY

You mean 3.8m EU citizens who’ve lived here for yrs? The doctors& nurses who care for us? The engineers, entrepreneurs, cleaners, scientists, business leaders, fruit pickers who keep our economy going? Yep, Daily Mail, thank God they can stay as country depends on them every day pic.twitter.com/2DyWgjMjzi

The Daily Mail could have run headline today celebrating 70th anniversary of first #Windrush ship arriving in the UK & the amazing contribution those onboard have made ever since.
Instead they continue to whip up anti-immigrant rhetoric in support of the PM’s hostile environment. pic.twitter.com/4lEIHouMY5

Today's Daily Mail front page has really out-Mailed itself. Immigration scare, health scare, celebrity diet. The trifecta of Mail obsessions pic.twitter.com/TD3ynTs2Cg

TODAY: ‘Migrants allowed to stay’ screams a furious front page headline, right next to a photo of 2nd generation migrant Lenny Henry. pic.twitter.com/mZXe7GGl1L

Paul Dacre will leave the editor’s chair later this year, to be replaced by remainer Geordie Greig, who currently edits the Mail on Sunday, and got James Ball thinking …

Weirdly cautious front, this: they know what their readers will think of this, but they’ve written it in an *achingly* careful just-the-facts style. Hesitant dogwhistling. Is it because they know new management is coming? https://t.co/hALAW2ac69
