City AM opinion piece, on UK Politics, 14 November 2026
We do not republish articles from City AM. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on cityam.com (opens in a new tab)Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, argues in City AM that preparing young people for work will fail unless the government cuts employers' costs and regulation. She backs this with figures on young people not in education, employment or training and on retail jobs and costs. The material supplied contains nothing that contradicts these figures, and nothing in the piece misleads its reader on the grounds an opinion piece is judged on.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“Helen Dickinson is chief executive at the British Retail Consortium”
The piece tells the reader that the author leads the retail industry's trade body. A reader can then weigh her case for lower employer costs knowing whose interests she represents.
“Through Opening Shift, a BRC-DWP work experience initiative”
The author names her own organisation's part in the scheme she cites. She does not present it as an independent example.
