A sardonic British nickname for the Daily Mail, one of the UK's best-selling tabloids and one of its most polarizing. Daily Wail is used dismissively by those who see the paper as sensationalist, fear-mongering, or politically reactionary — the wail replacing mail to suggest melodrama and outrage journalism. The nickname is widely used on British social media, in political commentary, and anywhere the paper's editorial line gets discussed critically.
(UK, slang) The News International phone hacking scandal.
