• The dominant image is a long shot of Boris Johnson jogging with his dog. Dressed in a beanie hat, woollen jumper, shorts, and trainers- not a states-manlike image of the Prime Minister
• The dominant image is anchored with the caption explaining how the prime minister is walking his dog 'Dilyn' in St James Park. The fact he looks so unsportsmanlike implies Johnson's ineptitude. His clothing gives him a clownish look as this is not what we would expect a jogger to wear. This portrayal aligns with The Guardians anti-Johnson beliefs
• The main headline "Cummings accuses PM of lying over No. 10 Party" is short, sharp, and to the point. The drama of the terms "accuses" and "lying" points to a political spat between the two. The fact it is the PM who is the subject of the accusation is significant as he is supposed to abide by all the rules passed by parliament
• The word "party" in the main headline serves to reinforce Johnson's clownlike appearance in the image and thematically ties in with the skyline feature of the majority of the reader's "miss[ing]" parties, implying they have been following the rules.
• The theme of Conservative dishonesty continues in the headline "Inquiry launched into Mone over 'VIP Lane' deal" which highlights an investigation into a Conservative peer who may not have been following the House of Lords's code of conduct. This overall constructs a reality of Conservative dishonest, in-line with the left-wing values of the paper
• The coverline-"What we miss about working in the office"-refers to the work-from-home culture that has emerged since the pandemic. The paper creates a collective identity for the audience with the pronoun "we" and suggests the paper sees its readers as mainly office workers
• The headlines across the front page are focused, factual, and unemotional which is what we would expect from a broadsheet
• The skyline is given over to the G2 supplement a regular segment in the paper, which when displayed on newsstands may well be the section people see first. This supplement offers a lighter alternative to the hard-hitting news stories of the rest of the paper
