He is probably best known for climate change denial; but he is vicious in every possible way. Here is a link to one of his nastiest recent articles. I hesitate to link to it, as the right-wing media's presentation of disabled people, especially if they're poor, verges on hate-speech, and this is an example; but it shows how nasty this man is:

The Daily Telegraph has always been the 'Torygraph'; but in the last few years, possibly dating from when it went online, its writers have become more and more vile, and seem to be deliberately collaborating with the American Republican Right. Calling Cameron a 'RINO', a specifically American term (the approximately equivalent English term would be 'Wet'; and I hope that Cameron is not a Republican even in name!) is I suppose the logical conclusion of this! Some of them would like us to be the 51st state under President Santorum or someone similar. Ugh!
