Exam practice
1. The images suggest that Boris' response to covid was bad and put peoples lives in danger, which is suggested by a person on a treatment bed looking lifeless and the nurses all around them with some wearing limited PPE whilst a life is potentially under threat. Also the picture of him drinking gives the impression he doesn't have a lot or any empathy for people in that position.
2. 'Stain on our great country', 'a man with no shame', 'the PM took us all for fools', 'he held your sacrifice in contempt', 'he insulted your intelligence'.
This language is very direct to the point and very specific in its working to describe the PM, clearly trying to get the point across and target the PM. Uses words to help appeal and connect to the public and makes them see how labour have felt the same as the public and can relate to what they have gone through, condemning how Britain can have such a selfish leader. The extract also shows that Boris will do anything to save his own skin based on what he would do to stay in power.
3. The newspaper portrays the governments response to covid as taking advantage and irresponsible against the British public, putting peoples lives at risks and undermining them through the lies they said, and taking advantage of the rules they set in the first place as mentioned in the section of he broke the rules that he set them himself.
5. The images in the text suggest that there is a big difference of standard of living between government and society, because the large picture shows society struggling and suffering, whether through health or through working in tough conditions, whereas Boris in a government position looks very relaxed and not a care in the world
