We do not republish articles from The Telegraph. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Telegraph tells its readers that Makerfield voters rejected Andy Burnham's EU deal, and calls that deal a surrender in its own headline. The poll it reports was commissioned by the campaign group Britain Unbound and, as the Daily Express reports, deliberately did not mention the EU. The Telegraph never says so, and it leaves the poll's reading to its sponsor and a Labour MP with no reply from Downing Street or any supporter of the reset.
Headline goes beyond the article
Serious
“reject EU surrender”
Why this matters
The headline says constituents "reject EU surrender". It puts the outlet's own verdict, "surrender", on the deal and presents it as the thing voters turned down.
The impression it gives
Makerfield voters were asked about Burnham's EU deal and rejected it as a surrender.
The context
The body describes a poll asking whether the Government should decide policy areas alone, work voluntarily with other countries or follow international institutions. Other coverage reports the poll deliberately did not mention the EU. Nobody in the poll called anything a surrender.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“asked Makerfield voters whether the Government should decide on policy areas alone”
The Telegraph says Burnham will use the summit "to force Britain" to accept EU rules. The word carries a verdict of coercion.
The impression it gives
The Prime Minister is imposing EU rules on the country against its will.
The context
The article's own report of Burnham's words describes a negotiated arrangement he defends as partnership. The word "force" is the outlet's own.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“it is about working in partnership where we can”
One side gets the space
Minor
“Lord Redwood, the co-chairman of Britain Unbound and a former head of the No 10 policy unit under Margaret Thatcher”
Why this matters
The article quotes the poll's sponsor and a Labour MP who opposes the deal. No government or pro-reset voice answers them.
The impression it gives
The poll's reading goes unchallenged.
The context
Other coverage identifies Redwood as a Conservative peer, which The Telegraph leaves out. The article carries no response from Downing Street or any supporter of the reset.
