The Guardian has called Daily Mail editor Geordie Greig’s “very public shift” in tone on its coverage of Brexit and the Conservative Party “not just a media milestone” but also a political one.

The newspaper said the “very public shift” and “striking change” in the newspaper’s coverage had come in response to a change in the national mood over the ongoing negotiations to leave the European Union.

“A new editor has abandoned the aggressive tone with which the Mail campaigned for Brexit,” the Guardian said. “This reflects a change in the public mood.”
