Read the original article on scotsman.com (opens in a new tab)This is a Scotsman comment piece. It welcomes the 0.7 per cent growth figure for the three months to September and urges Andy Burnham to resist pressure from the left. Its figures match other reports of the same data, its headline quote comes from a named economist in the body, and nothing in it misleads the reader on the matters 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.
“Economist Suren Thiru described the results as “strikingly strong””
The headline's quoted phrase is attributed in the body to a named economist, so the headline does not go beyond the article.
“the UK’s gross domestic product increased by 0.7 per cent in the three months to September”
It gives the figure with its period, matching the 0.7% July to September figure HuffPost and the Express report.
“The British Chambers of Commerce spoke of an “an emerging two-speed economy””
It sets an attributed warning from a named business body against its own upbeat reading of the figures.
