We do not republish articles from Daily Mirror. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Mirror opens by writing that young people "will lose" their sickness and disability benefits, though its own body says these are proposals from a review not yet published that Andy Burnham is only expected to accept. It also gives the plans a single aim in its own voice, to bring down the welfare bill, while the Daily Mail reported the same day that the plan would cost taxpayers £6bn more.

“Young people will lose”
Why this matters
The Mirror's opening words "Young people will lose" state as a certainty what the article later describes only as proposals from a review not yet published or accepted.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the loss of benefits for under-25s is already decided government policy.
The context
The article's own body says the proposals "would see" this happen, that the review is still to be published and that Andy Burnham is only "expected to accept" it.
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“Andy Burnham expected to accept its recommendations”
Elsewhere in the article“would see adults under 25 lose access to the support”
“under plans to bring down the welfare bill”
Why this matters
The Mirror gives, in its own voice, a single purpose for the plans: "to bring down the welfare bill".
The impression it gives
A reader believes the review is a cost-cutting exercise designed to shrink welfare spending.
The context
Other coverage of the same day says Milburn's aim is to cut the number of Neets, and the Daily Mail reports the plan will cost taxpayers £6bn more. The Independent says Burnham's instinct is to spend more on welfare to yield savings later, and the Mirror itself quotes Burnham on the need to "invest up front".
