About this analysis

HuffPost UK reports that Andy Burnham told MPs at prime minister's questions that his 10-year plan will be published before the Christmas recess, days after telling The Economist it might slip into the new year. It quotes his words on both occasions and reports the talk of government in-fighting as claims rather than stating it as fact. No finding of misleading reporting was made on this article.

What it gets right

  • “But last week, he told The Economist: “We may go into the new year, to be honest.”

    The article quotes Burnham's earlier words directly and names where he said them, so the reader can judge the reversal in his own words rather than on the outlet's description.

  • “That sparked claims that it was being delayed by government in-fighting.”

    The suggestion of government in-fighting is reported as claims, not stated as fact in the outlet's own voice.

  • “before the Commons rises for the Christmas recess on December 17”

    The article gives the concrete deadline Burnham committed to, which matches his quoted words to MPs.
