Read the original article on spectator.com (opens in a new tab)William Atkinson's Spectator column praises Rishi Sunak for standing again as MP for Richmond and Northallerton and mocks Keir Starmer and Liz Truss by comparison. The insults it throws at Starmer and Truss are political invective, not grave allegations, and nothing in the piece vilifies a community, smears a named person with a serious charge or uses misleading figures. Its argument is the columnist's own, and nothing in it misleads the reader on the matters an opinion piece is judged by.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“Yes he might be combining serving the good people of North Yorkshire with advisory roles for Goldman, Microsoft and Anthropic, fellowships at Oxford and Stanford and a column in the Sunday Times.”
The columnist sets out Sunak's outside roles in plain terms instead of leaving them out of a piece that calls him a model MP, so readers can weigh the praise against them.
