What we found (1)

HuffPost UK reports the exchange between Andy Burnham and David Cameron over rejoining the EU, quoting both men at length and attributing each claim to the person who made it. Its one lapse is minor: in its own voice it says Cameron's intervention sparked an intense backlash, but the only reaction it reports is Burnham's. Nothing else in it misleads.

  1. Uses a loaded word

    Minor

    “His intervention sparked intense backlash”

    Why this matters
    HuffPost UK says in its own voice that Cameron's remarks "sparked intense backlash", but names no one beyond Burnham who objected.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes there was a broad and fierce reaction against Cameron's remarks.
    The context
    The only reaction the article reports is Burnham's, and other coverage shows praise as well as criticism. Suella Braverman welcomed Cameron's position as coming round to her way of thinking. Calling the reaction intense goes beyond what the article shows.

    How we know

What it gets right

  • “I would say the evidence says otherwise and indeed the Treasury analysis says otherwise.”

    The article does not let Cameron's claim that Brexit has nothing to do with low growth stand alone. It reports the prime minister's challenge and the Treasury analysis he cites.

  • “He also claimed the UK’s economic issues are unrelated to Brexit”

    HuffPost UK attributes Cameron's contested economic claim to him rather than stating it as fact.

  • “Cameron told Bloomberg this week:”

    The article names where Cameron made his remarks and quotes him in full, so readers can judge his argument in his own words.
