BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Tabloid-dominated framing: coverage is heavily concentrated among outlets like the Daily Mail, known for strong editorial opposition to Starmer, amplifying the 'civil war' narrative.

Succession drama emphasis: articles prioritize the dramatic Burnham-Starmer confrontation over substantive policy differences such as economic strategy, immigration, or energy policy.

Underrepresentation of Starmer support: supporters of the Prime Minister are portrayed as a diminishing minority without adequate exploration of structural arguments favoring his continued leadership of the government.
