Top Five Stories on The Daily Mail and The Guardian:


Daily Mail:
- PM agrees pact with EU that says Britain will be able to strike trade deals around the world.
- Nurse is stabbed.
- 15 year old daughter advertised her secret party and her house got wrecked.
- Mother and son went missing trying to find her car at a reservoir.
- Key less car can be stolen in 23 seconds.

The Guardian:
- PM agrees pact with EU that says Britain will be able to strike trade deals around the world.
- Illness costs UK £94bn a year, OCED report says.
- Police missed chances to prevent Manchester arena attack.
- Man killed on remote Indian island tried to 'declare Jesus' to tribe.
- US-Israeli man jailed for 10 years over bomb hoax calls.


Both The Guardian and Daily Mail have the same headline outlining the pact with EU. 
However The Daily Mail displays stories focusing on unambiguous, negativity and personalisations. They are targeting non intellectual audiences, with little text and information -  'key less car can be stolen in 23 seconds' (an irrelevant story)
The Guardian focuses on an intellectual audience, basing their stories on bexit and politics.  Even the titles are daring and overpowering. They all included a myriad of information and intellectual facts. 


Comments: 

The Daily Mail:
- 'She is rubbish, both as Home Secretary and PM. Far too timid. We should have cloned Margaret Thatcher.'
- 'Yeah its called World Trade organisation.'
Mrs May was a Conservative Party activist at the age of 12. Her life has been getting sadder by the day ever since. Give it up Theresa.
- 'Fake news.'

The Guardian:
- 'Weakness is her strength.'
- 'What else have we conceded then?'

Most of the newspapers comments were negative towards Brexit. This is because recently Brexit have been developing issues, and The Prime Minister is 'under fire'; due to wanting to go through a weak deal. Therefore, as a result, hatred from left and ring wing people has sparked; everyone is against Brexit, constantly commenting abusive and opinionated responses towards this article.

The British people want this to be settled. They want a good deal that sets us on course for a brighter future. That deal is within our grasp and I am determined to deliver it.
