Read the original article on lbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)LBC publishes a signed column by the Scottish Labour leader Michael Marra arguing that the UK should rejoin the European Union and that he will press his party to adopt the goal. The headline matches what the column says, the piece is clearly labelled as opinion, and nothing in it misleads the reader.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“I reflected on the mounting tensions across the continent and said I doubted we'd be offered reasonable terms for a generation.”
Marra states his own earlier position openly rather than hiding the change. The Scotsman reports the same shift, that he had said rejoining was a "generation or more" away.
“Nor can we assume that our European neighbours would offer us whatever terms we wanted.”
The column sets out the difficulties of its own proposal, including currency, borders, laws and terms, instead of presenting rejoining as simple.
“The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official LBC position.”
LBC labels the piece as a signed opinion, so a reader knows these are the author's arguments and not the outlet's reporting.
