Read the original article on scotsman.com (opens in a new tab)The Scotsman reports that the Scottish Labour leader, Michael Marra, now backs rejoining the EU, sets that against what he said a month earlier, and quotes his reasons and the limits he places on the policy. It gives responses from the First Minister's spokesman and the Scottish Greens, each attributed. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“said it would be a “generation or more” before rejoining was a realistic prospect”
The article backs its headline claim of a change of position with Marra's own earlier words and their timing. The reader can judge the shift for themselves.
“Rejoining the EU is not the current policy of the UK Labour Party and not the current policy of the UK Labour government.”
The article keeps Marra's own statement of the limit of his announcement. The reader does not come away thinking UK Labour or the government has adopted the policy.
“The Scottish Greens accused Labour of “utter hypocrisy”.”
The article attributes the charge to the party that made it. It does not adopt the charge in its own voice, and it gives opponents' criticism space alongside Marra's case.
