About this analysis

The Sun reports that Andy Burnham would not rule out changing age of consent laws after Russell Brand's rape conviction, and quotes his words directly. It sets his remarks against a justice minister's dismissal of the idea and Downing Street's statement that there are no plans to change the law, and it gives David Walliams's denial. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • ““I’m not going to say at this stage that things are off the table.”

    The Sun gives the Prime Minister's exact words, so a reader can judge for themselves how far 'leaves door open' in the headline goes. The quote supports it.

  • “Downing Street has insisted there are no plans to change the law.”

    The Sun reports the government's position that no change is planned, along with a justice minister's dismissal of the idea in S11. A reader does not come away thinking a law change is under way.

  • “He denies any wrongdoing.”

    The allegations against David Walliams are reported as allegations, and his denial follows straight after them.
