Well .. I'm a Brit who's pulled away from the daily (UK) news, and I agree with this. It is grinding, mostly grindingly stupid, and the sense that it's worth engaging with the process to fix matters has evaporated. The UK news has always worn its political allegiances on its masthead, but that has now completely overridden any kind of sense or accuracy. The British press campaigned for Brexit for decades, and got it. Now we have a Twitter-stoked moral panic over trans people to deal with as well that has been pushed into existence from nothing over the past few years.

The country is having a heat emergency https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32137713 and still nobody will talk sense over climate change.

If you must follow a UK paper, and not just pick up the background scattering of the news from Twitter, the FT remains reasonably reliable.
