On Sunday, several UK newspapers reported that some firms used 12-year-old children to bully strangers for money. The Daily Express termed the practice shameless. The report stated that the children were tasked to collect funds through threats.
Commentators on the same day accused the prime minister of being dishonest for failing to be forthright about his EU ambitions. A Daily Mail editorial claimed that his lack of transparency caused him No10. The comment associated the prime minister's secrecy to his decline of leadership.
“The comment associated the prime minister's secrecy to his decline of leadership,” — David Kingsley, research director at Halwell Stow Practice, added during the briefing.
