About this analysis

The Mirror reports Chris Cash's first interview since espionage charges against him and Chris Berry were dropped, and his claim that he was a convenient fall guy for police and the security services. It attributes his claims to him, reports that the charges were dropped and why, and quotes both his denial and his own admission of unprofessional messages. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “says he was 'fall guy' for intelligence agencies”

    The headline keeps the attribution. It reports Mr Cash's account as his claim, not as the Mirror's own finding.

  • “the government had refused to provide prosecutors with a statement defining China as a 'threat to national security'”

    The Mirror tells the reader why the case collapsed, matching what other outlets reported about the government's failure to classify China.

  • “He readily admits that he had been "unprofessional" in gossiping in the messages”

    The Mirror sets Mr Cash's own admission beside his complaint, so the reader gets his account in full rather than only the part that favours him.
