We do not republish articles from Daily Mirror. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Mirror presents the government's general emergency checklist as advice issued because a polar vortex is on its way. Its own body shows the Cabinet Office guidance was published in late October, cites storms and wildfires, and that a very cold winter only could be approaching. The checklist itself is reported accurately.
Headline goes beyond the article

“ahead of coming Polar Vortex”
Why this matters
The words "ahead of coming Polar Vortex" tie the government's advice to the cold spell. They also state the polar vortex's arrival as a certainty.
The impression it gives
The government has issued a fresh warning telling households to stock 15 items because a polar vortex is definitely about to hit Britain.
The context
The body says the Cabinet Office published general emergency guidance in late October. That guidance points to storms and wildfires as its examples and says nothing in the article about a polar vortex. The body also hedges the cold weather itself, saying an exceptionally cold winter only "could be approaching".
