In the mean time. for anyone else like myself who struggles with this I managed to get something from the daily mirror using the code below. Maybe someone could tell me the best method?
Also I found the problem with the Daily star - it uses feed portal as mentioned in the thread about the irish post. I was tempted to change the urls in the irish post recipe, but i suspect it may not work...
