The Daily Mail is a right-wing national newspaper owned by Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), chaired by Lord Jonathan Rothermere. The Mail and its stablemates consistently publish editorials hostile to climate action. DMGT's parent company derives around a quarter of its total revenue from hosting oil and gas industry events in Middle East petrostates including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The Mail has a long record of anti-immigration coverage; a Financial Times analysis found that UK public concern about immigration has historically tracked mentions of immigration in the Daily Mail. In 2025, the paper was admonished by press regulator IPSO for making false claims about the number of illegal immigrants in London. Rothermere's wife Claudia donated £50,000 to Reform UK in 2025.
