Read the original article on observer.co.uk (opens in a new tab)This Observer leader argues that Andy Burnham should push for Britain to rejoin the EU, with shorter sections on Jensen Huang and Maldon sea salt. It credits Bloomberg Economics, a study it attributes to the US Bureau of Economic Research and a YouGov poll for several of its figures, attributes the £750m a week figure to Stay Out, and tells its reader the economic numbers are estimates. Nothing in the material supplied shows a misleading figure, a false claim or a smear, so there are no findings.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“The numbers are estimates but they are worth revisiting.”
The leader tells its reader plainly that the economic figures that follow are estimates, not settled facts, before using them in its argument.
“Stay Out, a new anti-EU pressure group, claims this would cost £750m a week”
The leader names the group behind the £750m figure and attributes it as a claim. Coverage elsewhere confirms Stay Out made that claim on the basis of £39.3bn a year.
“more than $7bn of Nvidia advanced chips allegedly routed into China”
The leader keeps the allegation about chips going to China as an allegation rather than stating it as established fact about a named official.
