Daisy Graham-Brown

Brimming with determination and equipped with a meticulous eye for detail, Daisy Graham-Brown has broken multiple agenda-setting exclusives while working at The Mail on Sunday which range from political scandals to human interest stories and complex investigations.

Since joining the newspaper in January 2024 after completing the graduate trainee scheme at the Daily Mail, Daisy has built an impressive and extensive portfolio. Her hard-hitting stories include exposés that led to several Reform Party candidates being sacked and an undercover investigation into a company illegally soliciting donations by claiming to fight knife crime.

In one of her most poignant stories, Daisy exclusively revealed the harrowing ordeal of a British family whose healthy son died at a Swiss assisted dying clinic without their knowledge. The article, "Teacher, 47, with No-Diagnosed Illness Secretly Went to Switzerland to Kill Himself—Legally" (January 21, 2024), required Daisy to navigate a difficult topic and conduct sensitive interviews with trust and compassion. The story was widely covered by national and international media, leading the clinic to change its policies to ensure that relatives are always informed.

In another investigation, Daisy bravely posed as a young person seeking work with a knife-crime organisation at one of their training sessions. Her article, "Exposed: Where the £3m We Hand Over to Anti-Knife ‘Charity’s’ Pushy High St Collectors REALLY Ends Up" (May 26, 2024), uncovered how teenagers were being encouraged to fabricate stories about the organisation's impact while public donations were funnelled into lucrative staff salaries. The story sparked widespread media coverage, prompting an investigation by the Fundraising Regulator.

Another standout investigation, "£300m Bill for ADHD Handouts" (April 14, 2024), revealed a staggering 41,000% rise in disability benefits for people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder over a decade. Not just stopping after obtaining the figures, Daisy also discovered that influencers were charging up to £650 to fill out claim forms that almost guaranteed approval. Her findings were covered across the press and praised by the then Health Secretary who, as a result of the story, pledged that the Government would clamp down on people gaming the system.

Daisy’s other exclusive stories include a string of revelations in the lead up to the general election about Reform UK candidates who she revealed included convicted criminals and racists. She doggedly trawled through social media sites and used open source intelligence techniques to produce stories which led to several individuals having their candidacy revoked by the party.

More recently she broke the widely acclaimed story about a group of nurses who, in a legal first, have launched action against their NHS trust after being forced to share a changing room with a male colleague. She was also behind the stories which saw a Conservative crime commissioner resign following Daisy's revelations in successive stories that he had hired his ‘girlfriend’ into two positions on taxpayer money.
