Read the original article on standard.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Evening Standard reports Andy Burnham's Cop31 speech, in which he recommitted the UK to its 2050 net zero target and pledged to work with other countries to reach theirs. It attributes his claims to him, and it sets his words against his government's approval of the Jackdaw gas field and critics from the Green Party and Friends of the Earth. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“after they approved the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, with a decision on the larger Rosebank oil project looming”
The Standard sets the Prime Minister's climate pledges against his government's own fossil fuel decisions, so the reader can weigh the speech against what ministers are doing at home.
“Amid accusations that his Government is deprioritising the green agenda, the Prime Minister recommitted to hitting its 2050 net zero target”
The second sentence of the article tells the reader the commitment comes under scrutiny, so the reader does not take the pledge at face value.
“rejecting the Rosebank oil field and saying no to a third runway at Heathrow”
The Standard gives campaigners room to say exactly what they want from the government, so their criticism is concrete rather than a vague complaint.
