the page is split between the political story, a puff box promoting the pull out supplement and an advert for a betting service. the headline 'brexit daily mayhem' and the use of the emotive words 'surrender' , 'defeat' and 'chaos' suggest the negotiations for britain leaving the EU are disastrous.

the image of May looking very serious anchors the headline - the fact the image is smaller than the rest shows the mirror has little respect or faith in may's abilities.

the strapline 'fighting for you' provides solidarity for people confused or worried about the political turmoil of brexit.

the cheltenham festival pull-out actually dominates the page - with bright green font and background , combined with an exciting action shot of a horse and rider, it grabs the attention more than the political story. the puff box 'all the tips! all the form!' offers practical advice and the offer of a free bet will also entice the reader. the use of these terms will position the reader as someone already knowledgeable about racing.

the advert at the base of the page also uses brightly coloured graphics, the greens linking it to the racing feature above.

the article about the assault on the actor is a close up of her upset face , to create empathy and the reader feel closer to this 'character'. the headline uses emotive slang like 'gassed' and 'thug' to condemn the attack. it also doesn't use the real actor's name instead addressing her as her character's name. the abbreviation of eastenders along with the slang suggests this story is less important and more gossipy

the central image is a medium shot of May, her hands are raised which could connote defeat. it could also indicate conciliation or resistance.
