Labour revolt is ALREADY brewing as NEETs review calls for young people to be barred from claiming main sickness and disability benefits - but plan will cost taxpayers £6bn MORE
We do not republish articles from Daily Mail. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Daily Mail reports Alan Milburn's proposal to bar under-25s from the health element of universal credit and Pip. Its headline turns a conditional, short-term estimate in the body into a flat statement that the plan "will cost taxpayers £6bn MORE". The body itself quotes the review, Labour critics, No 10 and the Conservatives with clear attribution.
Headline goes beyond the article
Serious
“but plan will cost taxpayers £6bn MORE”
Why this matters
The words "will cost taxpayers £6bn MORE" state as certain fact a cost that the body gives only as a possibility, and drop the time limit the body attaches to it.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the Milburn plan is certain to raise the bill to taxpayers by £6bn, with no end date.
The context
The body says only that the spending "could mean" an extra £6billion a year "in the short term", and that the savings from the benefit changes would fund the employment drive. The headline drops both "could" and "in the short term".
How we know
