It is true that they are a mouth piece for the Tory party, particularly for Boris Johnson. It is also true that they are not a respectable source since at least 2014, when they started publishing idiocies such as:

Finally, it is also a fact that they are currently a mounth piece for anti-lockdown "reporters". We put that in quotes because (1) none of them would be able to understand any of the random papers they cherrypick and (2) they actively contributed to Johnson's electoral campaign in 2019, knowing that he would make a mess (as he did with lockdowns and covid management).
