THE Daily Mail’s editor has said that his “main mantra” is “ABC: Anything But Corbyn.”

Speaking to the Financial Times in his first interview since taking charge at the Mail last year, old Etonian Geordie Greig confirmed that his right-wing rag would continue to oppose Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

“I’d much rather have no-deal than Corbyn,” he said.

And he reassured Mail readers: “We’re going to support Boris if he does call an election.

“After Brexit, I think Boris will seem quite a centrist figure.”

On election day in 2017, when the Daily Mail was edited by Mr Greig’s predecessor Paul Dacre, the paper devoted 13 pages to attacking Mr Corbyn.

In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Greig also praised his elite private school education, saying: “I loved Eton … It set me up doing so much of what I’m still doing.”

And Mr Greig insisted that Mail’s owners, the Rothermeres, pay their tax — despite using a Bermudan trust: “They pay their tax! Are you saying they don’t? Lawyers at dawn!”
